1) The uml_vector_user_bpf() returns pointers so it should return NULL
    instead of false.
2) If the "bpf_prog" allocation failed, it would have eventually lead to
    a crash.  We can't succeed after the error happens so it should just
    return.

I will sort this one out, thanks for noticing.

^^^^^ ?
