Currently in bpftool's feature probe, we incorrectly tell the user that
all of the helper functions are supported for program types where helper
probing fails or is explicitly unsupported[1]:
$ bpftool feature probe
...
eBPF helpers supported for program type tracing:
- bpf_map_lookup_elem
- bpf_map_update_elem
- bpf_map_delete_elem
...
- bpf_redirect_neigh
- bpf_check_mtu
- bpf_sys_bpf
- bpf_sys_close
This patch adjusts bpftool to relay to the user when helper support
can't be determined:
$ bpftool feature probe
...
eBPF helpers supported for program type lirc_mode2:
Program type not supported
eBPF helpers supported for program type tracing:
Could not determine which helpers are available
eBPF helpers supported for program type struct_opts:
Could not determine which helpers are available
eBPF helpers supported for program type ext:
Could not determine which helpers are available
Rather than imply that no helpers are available for the program type, we
let the user know that helper function probing failed entirely.

bpftool: adjust for error codes from libbpf probes
bpftool: output message if no helpers found in feature probing
