Quentin Monnet cea558855c bpftool: Clear errno after libcap's checks
When bpftool is linked against libcap, the library runs a "constructor"
function to compute the number of capabilities of the running kernel
[0], at the beginning of the execution of the program. As part of this,
it performs multiple calls to prctl(). Some of these may fail, and set
errno to a non-zero value:

    # strace -e prctl ./bpftool version
    prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE) = 1
    prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, 0x30 /* CAP_??? */) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
    prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE) = 1
    prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, 0x2c /* CAP_??? */) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
    prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, 0x2a /* CAP_??? */) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
    prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, 0x29 /* CAP_??? */) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
    ** fprintf added at the top of main(): we have errno == 1
    ./bpftool v7.0.0
    using libbpf v1.0
    features: libbfd, libbpf_strict, skeletons
    +++ exited with 0 +++

This has been addressed in libcap 2.63 [1], but until this version is
available everywhere, we can fix it on bpftool side.

Let's clean errno at the beginning of the main() function, to make sure
that these checks do not interfere with the batch mode, where we error
out if errno is set after a bpftool command.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
