The function used to dump a map entry in bpftool is a bit difficult to
follow, as a consequence to earlier refactorings. There is a variable
("num_elems") which does not appear to be necessary, and the error
handling would look cleaner if moved to its own function. Let's clean it
up. No functional change.
v2:
- v1 was erroneously removing the check on fd maps in an attempt to get
support for outer map dumps. This is already working. Instead, v2
focuses on cleaning up the dump_map_elem() function, to avoid
similar confusion in the future.

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.
