[v2,bpf,1/2] libbpf: Ignore non function pointer member in struct_ops

Commit Message

When libbpf initializes the kernel's struct_ops in
"bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops()", it enforces all
pointer types must be a function pointer and rejects
others.  It turns out to be too strict.  For example,
when directly using "struct tcp_congestion_ops" from vmlinux.h,
it has a "struct module *owner" member and it is set to NULL
in a bpf_tcp_cc.o.

Instead, it only needs to ensure the member is a function
pointer if it has been set (relocated) to a bpf-prog.
This patch moves the "btf_is_func_proto(kern_mtype)" check
after the existing "if (!prog) { continue; }".  The original debug
message in "if (!prog) { continue; }" is also removed since it is
no longer valid.  Beside, there is a later debug message to tell
which function pointer is set.

The "btf_is_func_proto(mtype)" has already been guaranteed
in "bpf_object__collect_st_ops_relos()" which has been run
before "bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops()".  Thus, this check
is removed.

v2:
- Remove outdated debug message (Andrii)
  Remove because there is a later debug message to tell
  which function pointer is set.
- Following mtype->type is no longer needed. Remove:
  "skip_mods_and_typedefs(btf, mtype->type, &mtype_id)"
- Do "if (!prog)" test before skip_mods_and_typedefs.
