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.

v3: Fix screwed up subject.  Sorry.  Not my most shining hour.
v2: The first version broke the build.  Shame upon me.
