We have found that in the complied files env_stack_push()
appear more than 10 times, and under at least 90% circumstances
that env_type_is_resolved() and env_stack_push() appear in pairs.
For example, they appear together in the btf_modifier_resolve()
of the file complie from 'kernel/bpf/btf.c'.
But we have found that in the btf_resolve(), there is only
env_stack_push() instead of the pair.
Therefore, we consider that the env_type_is_resolved()
might be forgotten.

It does not justify a change like this just because
one of its usage looks different and then concluded that
it _might_ be forgotten.

Does it have a bug or not?  If there is, please
provide an explanation on how to reproduce it first.

Both places that call btf_resolve() check that env_type_is_resolved()
first, so there is no issue here.
