linker: do not error out when there is nothing in /sys/kernel/btf

9958a4f allowed to perform CO-RE
against all kernel modules, but introduced a small regression where
kernels with no BTF would fail to perform CO-RE with the manually
provided types. This commit fixes the issue by skipping the modules
BTF collection if there is nothing in `/sys/kernel/btf`.
