Could you use !ASSERT_OK_PTR(...) instead of CHECK? bpf selftest
prefers to use ASSERT_* series of macros instead of CHECK.
In the above example, printing out strerror is not required,
see some other examples in the same folder.

Also bpf_iter.c has some other usages of CHECK macro.
Since you are touching this file, could you convert all
CHECK macros to ASSERT_* macros?

Basically you need two patches:
   patch 1: convert existing CHECK macros to ASSERT_* macros in bpf_iter.c.
            this should not check any functionality except error messages.
   patch 2: your patch with ASSERT_* macros.

You can use the following as your subject line:
   [PATCH bpf-next] selftests/bpf: Add malloc failure checks in bpf_iter
