Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] libbpf: Optimized return value in libbpf_strerror when errno is libbpf errno

This is a small improvement in libbpf_strerror. When libbpf_strerror
is used to obtain the system error description, if the length of the
buf is insufficient, libbpf_sterror returns ERANGE and sets errno to
ERANGE.

However, this processing is not performed when the error code
customized by libbpf is obtained. Make some minor improvements here,
return -ERANGE and set errno to ERANGE when buf is not enough for
custom description.
