Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] libbpf: Remove redundant check in btf_ext__new()

Since 'core_relo_len' is the last field of 'struct btf_ext_header', if
'xxx->hdr_len' is not less than 'offsetofend(xxx, core_relo_len)', then
'xxx->hdr_len' must also be not less than 'offsetofend(xxx, line_info_len)'.

We can check 'xxx->hdr_len < offsetofend(xxx, core_relo_len)' first, if it
passes, the 'xxx->hdr_len < offsetofend(xxx, line_info_len)' check will be
redundant, it can be removed.
