libbpf: Fix segfault in static linker for objects without BTF



When a BPF object is compiled without BTF info (without -g),
trying to link such objects using bpftool causes a SIGSEGV due to
btf__get_nr_types accessing obj->btf which is NULL. Fix this by
checking for the NULL pointer, and return error.

Reproducer:
$ cat a.bpf.c
extern int foo(void);
int bar(void) { return foo(); }
$ cat b.bpf.c
int foo(void) { return 0; }
$ clang -O2 -target bpf -c a.bpf.c
$ clang -O2 -target bpf -c b.bpf.c
$ bpftool gen obj out a.bpf.o b.bpf.o
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

After fix:
$ bpftool gen obj out a.bpf.o b.bpf.o
libbpf: failed to find BTF info for object 'a.bpf.o'
Error: failed to link 'a.bpf.o': Unknown error -22 (-22)

Fixes: a4634922 (libbpf: Add linker extern resolution support for functions and global variables)
