From: Sasha Levin
Date: Mon Jan 17 2022 - 21:20:13 EST


From: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 88918dc12dc357a06d8d722a684617b1c87a4654 ]

If BTF is corrupted DATASEC's variable type ID might be incorrect.
Prevent this easy to detect situation with extra NULL check.
Reported by oss-fuzz project.
