[PATCH v2] libbpf: add pr_warn() for EINVAL cases in linker_sanity_check_elf

[Sergei Trofimovich]

Before the change on `i686-linux` `systemd` build failed as:

    $ bpftool gen object src/core/bpf/socket_bind/socket-bind.bpf.o src/core/bpf/socket_bind/socket-bind.bpf.unstripped.o
    Error: failed to link 'src/core/bpf/socket_bind/socket-bind.bpf.unstripped.o': Invalid argument (22)

After the change it fails as:

    $ bpftool gen object src/core/bpf/socket_bind/socket-bind.bpf.o src/core/bpf/socket_bind/socket-bind.bpf.unstripped.o
    libbpf: ELF section #9 has inconsistent alignment addr=8 != d=4 in src/core/bpf/socket_bind/socket-bind.bpf.unstripped.o
    Error: failed to link 'src/core/bpf/socket_bind/socket-bind.bpf.unstripped.o': Invalid argument (22)

Now it's slightly easier to figure out what is wrong with an ELF file.

Change since v1:
Following Eduard's suggestion added one extra pr_warn() call around
section alignment and added compared values into warning messages.
