When the probe code was failing for any reason ENOTSUP was returned, even if this was due to no having enough lock space. This patch fixes this by returning EPERM to the user application, so it can respond and increase
the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK size.

v3: Updated error message to be more specific as suggested by Andrii

Just curious. Did "errno" always survive pr_warn() here? pr_warn() may call user supplied print function which it outside libbpf control.
Maybe should cache errno before calling pr_warn()?

I guess this issue has always been there, however, I sent out a v4 fixing this case.
