[PATCH] Check for NULL ptr of btf in codegen_asserts

From: Michael Mullin
Date: Mon May 23 2022 - 15:49:37 EST


bpf_object__btf() can return a NULL value. If bpf_object__btf returns
null, do not progress through codegen_asserts(). This avoids a null ptr
dereference at the call btf__type_cnt() in the function find_type_for_map()
