bpf: Check acquire_reference() error for "__ref" struct_ops arguments

Browse source

When acquiring references for struct_ops program arguments tagged with
"__ref", the return value of acquire_reference() was stored directly
into u32 ctx_arg_info[i].ref_id without checking for failure.
acquire_reference() returns -ENOMEM when acquire_reference_state() fails
to allocate, so the error was silently stored as a ref_id instead of
aborting verification. Fix it by checking the return.
