[ Upstream commit 23499442c319412aa8e54e7a939e2eb531bdd77d ]
Since commit 88cda1c9da02 ("bpf: libbpf: Provide basic API support to specify BPF obj name"), libbpf unconditionally sets bpf_attr->name for maps. Pre v4.14 kernels don't know about map names and return an error about unexpected non-zero data. Retry sys_bpf without a map name to cover older kernels.
v2 changes: * check for errno == EINVAL as suggested by Daniel Borkmann
