[PATCH v2 bpf-next 4/5] libbpf: fix section counting logic

[Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>]

e_shnum does include section #0 and as such is exactly the number of ELF
sections that we need to allocate memory for to use section indices as
array indices. Fix the off-by-one error.

This is purely accounting fix, previously we were overallocating one
too many array items. But no correctness errors otherwise.

Fixes: 25bbbd7a444b ("libbpf: Remove assumptions about uniqueness of .rodata/.data/.bss maps")
