[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 21/22] libbpf: Add NULL checks to bpf_object__{prev_map,next_map}

[ Upstream commit cedc12c5b57f7efa6dbebfb2b140e8675f5a2616 ]

In the current state, an erroneous call to
bpf_object__find_map_by_name(NULL, ...) leads to a segmentation
fault through the following call chain:

bpf_object__find_map_by_name(obj = NULL, ...)
-> bpf_object__for_each_map(pos, obj = NULL)
-> bpf_object__next_map((obj = NULL), NULL)
-> return (obj = NULL)->maps

While calling bpf_object__find_map_by_name with obj = NULL is
obviously incorrect, this should not lead to a segmentation
fault but rather be handled gracefully.

As __bpf_map__iter already handles this situation correctly, we
can delegate the check for the regular case there and only add
a check in case the prev or next parameter is NULL.
