Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/3] bpf: btf: check name validity for various types

Commit 2667a2626f4d ("bpf: btf: Add BTF_KIND_FUNC
and BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO") checked the name validity
for BTF_KIND_FUNC/FUNC_PROTO types.

This patch added name checking for PTR, ARRAY, VOLATILE, TYPEDEF,
CONST, RESTRICT, STRUCT, UNION, ENUM and FWD types. Such a strict
name checking makes BTF more sound in the kernel and future
BTF-to-header-file converesion ([1]) less fragile.
