libbpf: Deal with section with no data gracefully
[ Upstream commit 35a855509e6ee3442477c8ebc6827b5b5d32a7b5 ]
ELF section data pointer returned by libelf may be NULL (if section has
SHT_NOBITS), so null check section data pointer before attempting to
copy license and kversion section.
Fixes: cb1e5e961991 ("bpf tools: Collect version and license from ELF sections")
