[PATCH] bpf: fix a missing check of return value

From: Kangjie Lu <hidden>
Date: 2018-12-20 19:46:08

check_reg_arg() may fail and not mark correct data in "env".  This
fix inserts a check that ensures check_reg_arg() is successful, and
if it is not, the fix stops further operations and returns an error
upstream.

it cannot fail here.
we have the same pattern in few other places where we know it cannot fail.
I prefer to leave the code as-is.
