Subject: [PATCH] libbpf: Don't crash on object files with no symbol tables

[ Upstream commit 03e601f48b2da6fb44d0f7b86957a8f6bacfb347 ]

If libbpf encounters an ELF file that has been stripped of its symbol
table, it will crash in bpf_object__add_programs() when trying to
dereference the obj->efile.symbols pointer.

Fix this by erroring out of bpf_object__elf_collect() if it is not able
able to find the symbol table.

V2: - Move check into bpf_object__elf_collect() and add nice error message
