bpf: liveness: Handle ERR_PTR from get_outer_instance() in propagate_to_outer_instance()

propagate_to_outer_instance() calls get_outer_instance() and then uses the
returned pointer to reset/commit stack write marks. When get_outer_instance()
fails (e.g., __lookup_instance() returns -ENOMEM), it may return an ERR_PTR.
Without a check, the code dereferences this error pointer.

Protect the call with IS_ERR() and propagate the error.

Fixes: b3698c3 ("bpf: callchain sensitive stack liveness tracking
using CFG")
