__register_btf_kfunc_id_set() assumes .BTF to be part of the module's .ko file if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled. If that's not the case, the function prints an error message and return an error. As a result, such modules cannot be loaded.
However, the section could be stripped out during a build process. It would be better to let the modules loaded, because their basic functionalities have no problem[1], though the BTF functionalities will not be supported. Make the function to lower the level of the message from error to warn, and return no error.
