[PATCH bpf-next v4 1/2] bpftool: Fix gen object segfault

[Rong Tao]

From: Rong Tao <rongtao@xxxxxxxx>

If the input file and output file are the same, the input file is cleared
due to opening, resulting in a NULL pointer access by libbpf.

    $ bpftool gen object prog.o prog.o
    libbpf: failed to get ELF header for prog.o: invalid `Elf' handle
    Segmentation fault

    (gdb) bt
    #0  0x0000000000450285 in linker_append_elf_syms (linker=0x4feda0, obj=0x7fffffffe100) at linker.c:1296
    #1  bpf_linker__add_file (linker=0x4feda0, filename=<optimized out>, opts=<optimized out>) at linker.c:453
