realloc() and reallocarray() can either return NULL or a special non-NULL pointer, if their size argument is zero. This requires a bit more care to handle NULL-as-valid-result situation differently from NULL-as-error case. This has caused real issues before ([0]), and just recently bit again in production when performing bpf_program__attach_usdt(). This patch fixes 4 places that do or potentially could suffer from this mishandling of NULL, including the reported USDT-related one. There are many other places where realloc()/reallocarray() is used and NULL is always treated as an error value, but all those have guarantees that their size is always non-zero, so those spot don't need any extra handling.
