perf bpf-event: Fix use-after-free in synthesis

Calls to perf_env__insert_bpf_prog_info may fail as a sideband thread
may already have inserted the bpf_prog_info. Such failures may yield
info_linear being freed which then causes use-after-free issues with
the internal bpf_prog_info info struct. Make it so that
perf_env__insert_bpf_prog_info trigger early non-error paths and fix
the use-after-free in perf_event__synthesize_one_bpf_prog. Add proper
return error handling to perf_env__add_bpf_info (that calls
perf_env__insert_bpf_prog_info) and propagate the return value in its
callers.
