tools: bpftool: fix potential NULL pointer dereference in do_load

This patch fixes a possible null pointer dereference in
do_load, detected by the semantic patch deref_null.cocci,
with the following warning:

./tools/bpf/bpftool/prog.c:1021:23-25: ERROR: map_replace is NULL but dereferenced.

The following code has potential null pointer references:
881             map_replace = reallocarray(map_replace, old_map_fds + 1,
882                                        sizeof(*map_replace));
883             if (!map_replace) {
884                     p_err("mem alloc failed");
885                     goto err_free_reuse_maps;
886             }

...
1019 err_free_reuse_maps:
1020         for (i = 0; i < old_map_fds; i++)
1021                 close(map_replace[i].fd);
1022         free(map_replace);
