not sure why I put it in there, it's probably enough guarded
by arg_type having ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID, will remove

right, AFAIK we don't have such case yet, but would be good
to be ready and have something like

  BTF_ID(struct, __unused)

maybe adding new type for that will be better:

  BTF_ID(none, unused)
