tools: bpftool: fix infinite loop in map create



"bpftool map create" has an infinite loop on "while (argc)". The error
case is missing.

Symptoms: when forgetting to type the keyword 'type' in front of 'hash':
$ sudo bpftool map create /sys/fs/bpf/dir/foobar hash key 8 value 8 entries 128
(infinite loop, taking all the CPU)
^C

After the patch:
$ sudo bpftool map create /sys/fs/bpf/dir/foobar hash key 8 value 8 entries 128
Error: unknown arg hash
