Recently, from commit 94a1fedd63ed ("libbpf: Add btf__parse_raw() and
generic btf__parse() APIs"), new API has been added to libbpf that
allows to parse BTF from raw data file (btf__parse_raw()).
The commit derives build failure of samples/bpf due to improper access
of uninitialized pointer at btf_parse_raw().
btf.c: In function btf__parse_raw:
btf.c:625:28: error: btf may be used uninitialized in this function
625 | return err ? ERR_PTR(err) : btf;
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~
This commit fixes the build failure of samples/bpf by adding code of
initializing btf pointer as NULL.

Currently, building bpf samples will cause the following error.
./tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h:132:27: error: 'UINT32_MAX' undeclared here (not in a function) ..
#define BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE (UINT32_MAX >> 8) /* verifier maximum in kernels <= 5.1 */
^
./samples/bpf/bpf_load.h:31:25: note: in expansion of macro 'BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE'
extern char bpf_log_buf[BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE];
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Due to commit 4519efa6f8ea ("libbpf: fix BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE off-by-one error")
hard-coded size of BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE has been replaced with UINT32_MAX which is
defined in <stdint.h> header.
Even with this change, bpf selftests are running fine since these are built
with clang and it includes header(-idirafter) from clang/6.0.0/include.
(it has <stdint.h>)
clang -I. -I./include/uapi -I../../../include/uapi -idirafter /usr/local/include -idirafter /usr/include \
-idirafter /usr/lib/llvm-6.0/lib/clang/6.0.0/include -idirafter /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu \
-Wno-compare-distinct-pointer-types -O2 -target bpf -emit-llvm -c progs/test_sysctl_prog.c -o - | \
llc -march=bpf -mcpu=generic -filetype=obj -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sysctl_prog.o
But bpf samples are compiled with GCC, and it only searches and includes
headers declared at the target file. As '#include <stdint.h>' hasn't been
declared in tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h, it causes build failure of bpf samples.
gcc -Wp,-MD,./samples/bpf/.sockex3_user.o.d -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes \
-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=gnu89 -I./usr/include -I./tools/lib/ -I./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ \
-I./tools/ lib/ -I./tools/include -I./tools/perf -c -o ./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.o ./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.c;
This commit add declaration of '#include <stdint.h>' to tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h
to fix this problem.
