/*
 * NOTICE: Functions in this file do not clean up allocations in their error
 * paths; instead, this is performed once and for all when leaving the parent
 * `do_llext_load()` function. This approach consolidates memory management
 * in a single place, simplifying error handling and reducing the risk of
 * memory leaks.
 *
 * The following rationale applies:
 *
 * - The input `struct llext` and fields in `struct loader` are zero-filled
 *   at the beginning of the do_llext_load function, so that every pointer is
 *   set to NULL and every bool is false.
 * - If some function called by do_llext_load allocates memory, it does so by
 *   immediately writing the pointer in the `ext` and `ldr` structures.
 * - do_llext_load() will clean up the memory allocated by the functions it
 *   calls, taking into account if the load process was successful or not.
