Subject[PATCH 2/2] dwarves: cus__load_files: set errno if load fails
Date
From: Kornilios Kourtis <kornilios@isovalent.com>

This patch improves the error seen by the user by setting errno in
cus__load_files(). Otherwise, we get a "No such file or directory" error
which might be confusing.

Before the patch, using a bogus file:
$ ./pahole -J ./vmlinux-5.3.18-24.102-default.debug
pahole: ./vmlinux-5.3.18-24.102-default.debug: No such file or directory
$ ls ./vmlinux-5.3.18-24.102-default.debug
/home/kkourt/src/hubble-fgs/vmlinux-5.3.18-24.102-default.debug

After the patch:
$ ./pahole -J ./vmlinux-5.3.18-24.102-default.debug
pahole: ./vmlinux-5.3.18-24.102-default.debug: Unknown error -22

Which is not very helpful, but less confusing.
