How about we use u16 or even u8 for linkage? We are using BTF_INFO_VLEN() which 
is 16-bit long. Maybe we should save some bits for future extensions?

I think we need more comments for the retval of btf_check_func_arg_match().

IIUC, this should never happen? Maybe we need more details in the log, and 
maybe also WARN_ONCE()?

Why -EFAULT instead of -EINVAL? I think we treat them the same? 
I guess this to highlight verifier bug vs. libbpf/llvm bug? How about 
we use WARN_ONCE() for all verifier bug?
