For clarity, the subject probably should be
   bpf: Fix passing zero to PTR_ERR()
to indicate this is a bpf related fix. The tag should
be something like
   [PATCH bpf v2] or [PATCH v2 bpf]
depending on your preference, to indicate this is for bpf tree.

If another version is sent, the above "v2" should change to "v3".
