Far too much code simply assumes that both btf_record and btf_field_offs are set to valid pointers together, or both are unset. They go together hand in hand as btf_record describes the special fields and btf_field_offs is compact representation for runtime copying/zeroing. It is very difficult to make this clear in the code when the only exception to this universal invariant is inner_map_meta which is used as reg->map_ptr in the verifier. This is simply a bug waiting to happen, as in verifier context we cannot easily distinguish if PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE is coming from an inner map, and if we ever end up using field_offs for any reason in the future, we will silently ignore the special fields for inner map case (as NULL is not an error but unset field_offs). Hence, simply copy field_offs from inner map together with btf_record. While at it, refactor code to unwind properly on errors with gotos.

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.
