bpftool: Fix undefined behavior in qsort(NULL, 0, ...)
When netfilter has no entry to display, qsort is called with
qsort(NULL, 0, ...). This results in undefined behavior, as UBSan
reports:
net.c:827:2: runtime error: null pointer passed as argument 1, which is declared to never be null
Although the C standard does not explicitly state whether calling qsort
with a NULL pointer when the size is 0 constitutes undefined behavior,
Section 7.1.4 of the C standard (Use of library functions) mentions:
"Each of the following statements applies unless explicitly stated
otherwise in the detailed descriptions that follow: If an argument to a
function has an invalid value (such as a value outside the domain of
the function, or a pointer outside the address space of the program, or
a null pointer, or a pointer to non-modifiable storage when the
corresponding parameter is not const-qualified) or a type (after
promotion) not expected by a function with variable number of
arguments, the behavior is undefined."
To avoid this, add an early return when nf_link_info is NULL to prevent
calling qsort with a NULL pointer.
