Indeed. The code seems to consider that the modules may not be present.
The behaviour in these cases is questionable (it seems to silently leave
the buffers as they are and return success), but the modules are clearly
optional.

Actually, I think during initialisation, we should just pass NULL as
errp and ignore any errors.
When a request would access a block that can't be uncompressed because
of the missing module, that's where we can have a warn_report_once() and
arguably should fail the I/O request.
