The open_tuntap helper function uses open() to get a file descriptor for
/dev/net/tun.

The open(2) manpage writes this about its return value:

  On success, open(), openat(), and creat() return the new file
  descriptor (a nonnegative integer).  On error, -1 is returned and
  errno is set to indicate the error.

This means that the fd > 0 assertion in the open_tuntap helper is
incorrect and should rather check for fd >= 0.

When running the BPF selftests locally, this incorrect assertion was not
an issue, but the BPF kernel-patches CI failed because of this:

  open_tuntap:FAIL:open(/dev/net/tun) unexpected open(/dev/net/tun):
  actual 0 <= expected 0
