Thanks for the review!

I prefer to print out "usage();" whenever possible but then "-j" gave
me a 'null' after a json error mesage ...

# bpftool -j struct_ops unregister
{"error":"'unregister' needs at least 2 arguments, 0 found"},null

Then I went without REQ_ARGS(2) which is similar to a few existing
cases like do_dump(), do_updaate()...etc in map.c.

That was my consideration.  However, I can go back to use REQ_ARGS(2)
and return -1 without printing usage.  no strong preference here.
