From: luoliang <luoliang@kylinos.cn>
The btf_vlen(), btf_kind() and btf_kflag() inline helpers defined in
tools/lib/bpf/btf.h are thin wrappers around the BTF_INFO_VLEN(),
BTF_INFO_KIND() and BTF_INFO_KFLAG() UAPI macros - each one simply
returns the corresponding macro applied to t->info.
bpftool already uses these helpers in most places, but 13 call sites
in btf.c and btf_dumper.c still open-code the raw macros. Use the
helpers consistently, matching the rest of bpftool as well as libbpf.
No functional change.

Thanks Andrii (and KaFai for spotting this). Folded into v2, sent as a
reply to the original patch.

From: luoliang <luoliang@kylinos.cn>
The btf_vlen(), btf_kind() and btf_kflag() inline helpers defined in
tools/lib/bpf/btf.h are thin wrappers around the BTF_INFO_VLEN(),
BTF_INFO_KIND() and BTF_INFO_KFLAG() UAPI macros - each one simply
returns the corresponding macro applied to t->info.
bpftool already uses these helpers in most places, but 13 call sites
in btf.c and btf_dumper.c still open-code the raw macros. Use the
helpers consistently, matching the rest of bpftool as well as libbpf.
No functional change.

Changes in v2:
- Collapse the BTF_KIND_FWD fwd_kind assignment to a single line now
that btf_kflag(t) is short enough, as suggested by KaFai Wan and
requested by Andrii Nakryiko.
