 From commit 65c93628599d ("bpftool: Add struct_ops support"),
a new type of command struct_ops has been added.

This command requires kernel CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y, and for retrieving
btf info, get_btf_vmlinux() is used.

When running this command on kernel without BTF debug info, this will
lead to 'btf_vmlinux' variable contains invalid(error) pointer. And by
this, btf_free() causes a segfault when executing 'bpftool struct_ops'.

This commit adds pointer validation with IS_ERR not to free invalid
pointer, and this will fix the segfault issue.
