[PATCH v2] tracing/probes: fix error check in parse_btf_field()

From: Carlos López
Date: Mon May 27 2024 - 05:46:50 EST


btf_find_struct_member() might return NULL or an error via the
ERR_PTR() macro. However, its caller in parse_btf_field() only checks
for the NULL condition. Fix this by using IS_ERR() and returning the
error up the stack.
