Streamline BPF_CORE_READ_BITFIELD_PROBED interface to follow BPF_CORE_READ_BITFIELD (direct) and BPF_CORE_READ, in general, i.e., just return read result or 0, if underlying bpf_probe_read() failed. In practice, real applications rarely check bpf_probe_read() result, because it has to always work or otherwise it's a bug. So propagating internal bpf_probe_read() error from this macro hurts usability without providing real benefits in practice. This patch fixes the issue and simplifies usage, noticeable even in selftest itself.

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.
