bpf: Return an error pointer for skb metadata when CONFIG_NET=n

Kernel Test Robot reported a compiler warning - a null pointer may be
passed to memmove in __bpf_dynptr_{read,write} when building without
networking support.

The warning is correct from a static analysis standpoint, but not actually
reachable. Without CONFIG_NET, creating dynptrs to skb metadata is
impossible since the constructor kfunc is missing.

Silence the false-postive diagnostic message by returning an error pointer
from bpf_skb_meta_pointer stub when CONFIG_NET=n.
