libbpf: Fix realloc API handling in zero-sized edge cases

realloc() and reallocarray() can either return NULL or a special
non-NULL pointer, if their size argument is zero. This requires a bit
more care to handle NULL-as-valid-result situation differently from
NULL-as-error case. This has caused real issues before ([0]), and just
recently bit again in production when performing bpf_program__attach_usdt().

This patch fixes 4 places that do or potentially could suffer from this
mishandling of NULL, including the reported USDT-related one.

There are many other places where realloc()/reallocarray() is used and
NULL is always treated as an error value, but all those have guarantees
that their size is always non-zero, so those spot don't need any extra
handling.
