Subject: tools, bpftool: Exit on error in function codegen
Patch-mainline: v5.8-rc1
Git-commit: 2c4779eff837f1035f6f9650d246905daadd9528
References: bsc#1177028

Currently, the codegen function might fail and return an error. But its
callers continue without checking its return value. Since codegen can
fail only in the unlikely case of the system running out of memory or
the static template being malformed, just exit(-1) directly from codegen
and make it void-returning.
