Eduard Zingerman d08ab82f59 libbpf: Fix double-free when linker processes empty sections
Double-free error in bpf_linker__free() was reported by James Hilliard.
The error is caused by miss-use of realloc() in extend_sec().
The error occurs when two files with empty sections of the same name
are linked:
- when first file is processed:
  - extend_sec() calls realloc(dst->raw_data, dst_align_sz)
    with dst->raw_data == NULL and dst_align_sz == 0;
  - dst->raw_data is set to a special pointer to a memory block of
    size zero;
- when second file is processed:
  - extend_sec() calls realloc(dst->raw_data, dst_align_sz)
    with dst->raw_data == <special pointer> and dst_align_sz == 0;
  - realloc() "frees" dst->raw_data special pointer and returns NULL;
  - extend_sec() exits with -ENOMEM, and the old dst->raw_data value
    is preserved (it is now invalid);
  - eventually, bpf_linker__free() attempts to free dst->raw_data again.

This patch fixes the bug by avoiding -ENOMEM exit for dst_align_sz == 0.
The fix was suggested by Andrii Nakryiko <andrii.nakryiko@gmail.com>.
