Summary
tracing/probes: fix error check in parse_btf_field()
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tracing/probes: fix error check in parsebtffield()

btffindstructmember() might return NULL or an error via the ERRPTR() macro. However, its caller in parsebtffield() only checks for the NULL condition. Fix this by using IS_ERR() and returning the error up the stack.
