libbpf: Use proper errno value in linker
Return values of the linker_append_sec_data() and the linker_append_elf_relos() functions are propagated all the way up to users of libbpf API. In some error cases these functions return -1 which will be seen as -EPERM from user's point of view. Instead, return a more reasonable -EINVAL.
