Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/5] libbpf: fix memory leak/double free issue

Coverity scan against Github libbpf code found the issue of not freeing memory and
leaving already freed memory still referenced from bpf_program. Fix it by
re-assigning successfully reallocated memory sooner.

Fixes: 2993e0515bb4 ("tools/bpf: add support to read .BTF.ext sections")
