When there are no program sections, obj->programs is left unallocated, and find_prog_by_sec_insn()'s search lands on &obj->programs[0] == NULL, and will cause null-pointer dereference in the following access to prog->sec_idx. Guard the search with obj->nr_programs similar to what's being done in __bpf_program__iter() to prevent null-pointer access from happening.
