Do not use rlimit-based memory accounting for bpf ringbuffer. It has been replaced with the memcg-based memory accounting. bpf_ringbuf_alloc() can't return anything except ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) and a valid pointer, so to simplify the code make it return NULL in the first case. This allows to drop a couple of lines in ringbuf_map_alloc() and also makes it look similar to other memory allocating function like kmalloc().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
