printk: avoid -Wsometimes-uninitialized warning

clang notices that the pi_get_entry() function would use
uninitialized data if it was called with a non-NULL module
pointer on a kernel that does not support modules:

kernel/printk/index.c:32:6: error: variable 'nr_entries' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (!mod) {
            ^~~~
kernel/printk/index.c:38:13: note: uninitialized use occurs here
        if (pos >= nr_entries)
                   ^~~~~~~~~~
kernel/printk/index.c:32:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
        if (!mod) {

Rework the condition to make it clear to the compiler that we are always
in the second case. Unfortunately the #ifdef is still required as the
definition of 'struct module' is hidden when modules are disabled.
