Subject: [PATCH] libbpf: Fix unintentional success return code in
bpf_object__load
There are code paths where EINVAL is returned directly without setting
errno. In that case, errno could be 0, which would mask the
failure. For example, if a careless programmer set log_level to 10000
out of laziness, they would have to spend a long time trying to figure
out why.
Fixes: 4f33ddb4e3e2 ("libbpf: Propagate EPERM to caller on program load")
