libbpf: Check bpf_map_skeleton link for NULL
Avoid dereferencing bpf_map_skeleton's link field if it's NULL. If BPF map skeleton is created with the size, that indicates containing link field, but the field was not actually initialized with valid bpf_link pointer, libbpf crashes. This may happen when using libbpf-rs skeleton. Skeleton loading may still progress, but user needs to attach struct_ops map separately.
