I'll fix this NULL check as well too.

Actually, there is one more place that uses bpf_map_def_legacy.
map_perf_test_kern.c is the one, and I'm currently working on it, but
I'm having difficulty with refactoring this file at the moment.

It has a hash_map map definition named inner_lru_hash_map with
BPF_F_NUMA_NODE flag and '.numa_node = 0'.

The bpf_map_def in libbpf has the attribute name map_flags but
it does not have the numa_node attribute. Because the numa node
for bpf_map_def cannot be explicitly specified, this means that there
is no way to set the numa node where the map will be placed at the
time of bpf_object__load.

The only approach currently available is not to use libbbpf to handle
everything (bpf_object_load), but instead to create a map directly with
specifying numa node (bpf_load approach).

    bpf_create_map_in_map_node
    bpf_create_map_node

I'm trying to stick with the libbpf implementation only, and I'm wondering
If I have to create bpf maps manually at _user.c program.

Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time and effort for the review.
Daniel.
