    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.
