Hi
I apologize for the confusion.
I mistakenly thought that my previous email
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240820023447.29002-1-hao.ge@xxxxxxxxx/)
didn't send due to network issues on my computer, so I resent it.
However, it seems that was not the case.
Please kindly disregard this patch as it is identical to the previous one.
I sincerely apologize for wasting everyone's time

Smatch reported the following warning:
./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/testing_helpers.c:455 get_xlated_program()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'buf' (see line 454)
It seems correct,so let's modify it based on it's suggestion.
Actually,commit b23ed4d74c4d ("selftests/bpf: Fix invalid pointer
check in get_xlated_program()") fixed an issue in the test_verifier.c
once,but it was reverted this time.
Let's solve this issue with the minimal changes possible.
