Subject: libbpf: Relax check whether BTF is mandatory
Patch-mainline: v5.7-rc1
Git-commit: 5327644614a18f5d0ff845844a4e9976210b3d8d
References: bsc#1177028

If BPF program is using BTF-defined maps, BTF is required only for
libbpf itself to process map definitions. If after that BTF fails to
be loaded into kernel (e.g., if it doesn't support BTF at all), this
shouldn't prevent valid BPF program from loading. Existing
retry-without-BTF logic for creating maps will succeed to create such
maps without any problems. So, presence of .maps section shouldn't make
BTF required for kernel. Update the check accordingly.

Validated by ensuring simple BPF program with BTF-defined maps is still
loaded on old kernel without BTF support and map is correctly parsed and
created.
