Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 2/2] bpf: Require only one of cong_avoid() and cong_control() from a TCP CC

Remove the check for required and optional functions in a struct
tcp_congestion_ops from bpf_tcp_ca.c. Rely on
tcp_register_congestion_control() to reject a BPF CC that does not
implement all required functions, as it will do for a non-BPF CC.

When a CC implements tcp_congestion_ops.cong_control(), the alternate
cong_avoid() is not in use in the TCP stack. Previously, a BPF CC was
still forced to implement cong_avoid() as a no-op since it was
non-optional in bpf_tcp_ca.c.
