[PATCH perf/core 5/6] tools lib bpf: Add libbpf_get_error()

[Joe Stringer <joe@ovn.org>]

This function will turn a libbpf pointer into a standard error code (or
0 if the pointer is valid). This also allows removal of the dependency
on linux/err.h in the public header file, which causes problems in
userspace programs built against libbpf.
