strerror() expects a positive errno, however variable err will never be positive when an error occurs. This causes bpftool to output too many "unknown error", even a simple "file not exist" error can not get an accurate message. This patch fixed all "strerror(err)" patterns in bpftool. Specially in btf.c#L823, hashmap__append() is an internal function of libbpf and will not change errno, so there's a little difference. Some libbpf_get_error() calls are kept for return values.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
