bpf, libbpf: fixing leak when kernel does not support btf
We could end up in situation when we have object file w/ all btf info, but kernel does not support btf yet. In this situation currently libbpf just set obj->btf to NULL w/o freeing it first. This patch is fixing it by making sure to run btf__free first. Fixes: d29d87f7e612 ("btf: separate btf creation and loading") Signed-off-by: Nikita V. Shirokov <tehnerd@tehnerd.com> Acked-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
