libbpf: Fix null pointer dereference in btf_dump__free on allocation …
17f4b2b 
…failure

When btf_dump__new() fails to allocate memory for the internal hashmap
(btf_dump->type_names), it returns an error code. However, the cleanup
function btf_dump__free() does not check if btf_dump->type_names is NULL
before attempting to free it. This leads to a null pointer dereference
when btf_dump__free() is called on a btf_dump object.

Fix: 351131b ("libbpf: add btf_dump API for BTF-to-C conversion")
