Kohei Enju 48e11bad9a bpf: cpumap: propagate underlying error in cpu_map_update_elem()
After commit 9216477449 ("bpf: cpumap: Add the possibility to attach
an eBPF program to cpumap"), __cpu_map_entry_alloc() may fail with
errors other than -ENOMEM, such as -EBADF or -EINVAL.

However, __cpu_map_entry_alloc() returns NULL on all failures, and
cpu_map_update_elem() unconditionally converts this NULL into -ENOMEM.
As a result, user space always receives -ENOMEM regardless of the actual
underlying error.

Examples of unexpected behavior:
  - Nonexistent fd  : -ENOMEM (should be -EBADF)
  - Non-BPF fd      : -ENOMEM (should be -EINVAL)
  - Bad attach type : -ENOMEM (should be -EINVAL)

Change __cpu_map_entry_alloc() to return ERR_PTR(err) instead of NULL
and have cpu_map_update_elem() propagate this error.
