Locate the module BTFs for struct_ops maps and progs and pass them to the
kernel. This ensures that the kernel correctly resolves type IDs from the
appropriate module BTFs.
For the map of a struct_ops object, the FD of the module BTF is set to
bpf_map to keep a reference to the module BTF. The FD is passed to the
kernel as value_type_btf_obj_fd when the struct_ops object is loaded.
For a bpf_struct_ops prog, attach_btf_obj_fd of bpf_prog is the FD of a
module BTF in the kernel.

Pass the fd of a btf from the userspace to the bpf() syscall, and then
convert the fd into a btf. The btf is generated from the module that
defines the target BPF struct_ops type.
In order to inform the kernel about the module that defines the target
struct_ops type, the userspace program needs to provide a btf fd for the
respective module's btf. This btf contains essential information on the
types defined within the module, including the target struct_ops type.
A btf fd must be provided to the kernel for struct_ops maps and for the bpf
programs attached to those maps.
In the case of the bpf programs, the attach_btf_obj_fd parameter is passed
as part of the bpf_attr and is converted into a btf. This btf is then
stored in the prog->aux->attach_btf field. Here, it just let the verifier
access attach_btf directly.
In the case of struct_ops maps, a btf fd is passed as value_type_btf_obj_fd
of bpf_attr. The bpf_struct_ops_map_alloc() function converts the fd to a
btf and stores it as st_map->btf. A flag BPF_F_VTYPE_BTF_OBJ_FD is added
for map_flags to indicate that the value of value_type_btf_obj_fd is set.

Include btf object id (btf_obj_id) in bpf_map_info so that tools (ex:
bpftools struct_ops dump) know the correct btf from the kernel to look up
type information of struct_ops types.
Since struct_ops types can be defined and registered in a module. The
type information of a struct_ops type are defined in the btf of the
module defining it. The userspace tools need to know which btf is for
the module defining a struct_ops type.
