Most of libbpf "constructors" on failure return ERR_PTR(err) result encoded as
a pointer. It's a common mistake to eventually pass such malformed pointers
into xxx__destroy()/xxx__free() "destructors". So instead of fixing up
clean up code in selftests and user programs, handle such error pointers in
destructors themselves. This works beautifully for NULL pointers passed to
destructors, so might as well just work for error pointers.
