Wang ShaoBo 04f9bf2bac perf bpf-loader: Add missing '*' for key_scan_pos
key_scan_pos is a pointer for getting scan position in
bpf__obj_config_map() for each BPF map configuration term,
but it's misused when error not happened.

Committer notes:

The point is that the only user of this is:

  tools/perf/util/parse-events.c
    err = bpf__config_obj(obj, term, parse_state->evlist, &error_pos);
      if (err) bpf__strerror_config_obj(obj, term, parse_state->evlist, &error_pos, err, errbuf, sizeof(errbuf));

And then:

int bpf__strerror_config_obj(struct bpf_object *obj __maybe_unused,
                             struct parse_events_term *term __maybe_unused,
                             struct evlist *evlist __maybe_unused,
                             int *error_pos __maybe_unused, int err,
                             char *buf, size_t size)
{
        bpf__strerror_head(err, buf, size);
        bpf__strerror_entry(BPF_LOADER_ERRNO__OBJCONF_MAP_TYPE,
                            "Can't use this config term with this map type");
        bpf__strerror_end(buf, size);
        return 0;
}

So this is infrastructure that Wang Nan put in place for providing
better error messages but that he ended up not using, so I'll apply the
fix, its correct even not fixing any real problem at this time.

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.
