Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] scripts/bpf: Print an error when known types list needs updating

Don't generate a broken bpf_helper_defs.h header if the helper script needs
updating because it doesn't recognize a newly added type. Instead print an
error that explains why the build is failing and stop.

Fixes: 456a513bb5d4 ("scripts/bpf: Emit an #error directive known types list needs updating")
