Smatch reported the following warning:
./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/testing_helpers.c:455 get_xlated_program()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'buf' (see line 454)

It seems correct,so let's modify it based on it's suggestion.

Actually,commit b23ed4d74c4d ("selftests/bpf: Fix invalid pointer
check in get_xlated_program()") fixed an issue in the test_verifier.c
once,but it was reverted this time.

Let's solve this issue with the minimal changes possible.

In the future, please change subject '[PATCH] ...' to '[PATCH bpf-next] ...'
