Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] powerpc64/bpf: do not increment tailcall count when prog is NULL

From: Hari Bathini <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 12:09:29 +0530

Do not increment tailcall count, if tailcall did not succeed due to
missing BPF program.

Fixes: ce0761419fae ("powerpc/bpf: Implement support for tail calls")
