[PATCH bpf-next v7 0/4] Add prog_kfunc feature probe

[PATCH bpf-next v7 0/4] Add prog_kfunc feature probe

[Tao Chen]

More and more kfunc functions are being added to the kernel.
Different prog types have different restrictions when using kfunc.
Therefore, prog_kfunc probe is added to check whether it is supported,
and the use of this api will be added to bpftool later.

Change list:
- v6 -> v7:
  - wrap err with libbpf_err
  - comments fix
  - handle btf_fd < 0 as vmlinux
