libbpf: Add NULL checks to bpf_object__{prev_map,next_map}



In the current state, an erroneous call to
bpf_object__find_map_by_name(NULL, ...) leads to a segmentation
fault through the following call chain:

  bpf_object__find_map_by_name(obj = NULL, ...)
  -> bpf_object__for_each_map(pos, obj = NULL)
  -> bpf_object__next_map((obj = NULL), NULL)
  -> return (obj = NULL)->maps

While calling bpf_object__find_map_by_name with obj = NULL is
obviously incorrect, this should not lead to a segmentation
fault but rather be handled gracefully.

As __bpf_map__iter already handles this situation correctly, we
can delegate the check for the regular case there and only add
a check in case the prev or next parameter is NULL.
