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no longer valid.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- Remove outdated debug message (Andrii)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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
