Ack with a few nits below.

Just use one line for the above comment.

I believe env->btf->base_btf alone is enough to test it should be a 
module btf. If env->btf->base_btf is true, env->btf->kernel_btf should
also be true. The other way is not true, env->btf->kernel_btf is true,
the btf could be vmlinux (env->btf->base_btf == NULL) or be a module.

Same, just use one line for the above comments.
