If struct_ops has one of program callbacks set declaratively and host kernel is old and doesn't support this callback, libbpf will allow to load such struct_ops as long as that callback was explicitly nulled-out (presumably through skeleton). This is all working correctly, except we won't reset corresponding program slot to NULL before bailing out, which will lead to libbpf not detecting that BPF program has to be not auto-loaded. Fix this by unconditionally resetting corresponding program slot to NULL. Fixes: c911fc61a7ce ("libbpf: Skip zeroed or null fields if not found in the kernel type.")
