We only need a stable number to compare against. offsetofend() works. 
Or we can simply have something like

    if (btf_ext->hdr->hdr_len <= offsetof(struct btf_ext_header, offset_reloc_off))
          goto done;
or 
    if (btf_ext->hdr->hdr_len < offsetof(struct btf_ext_header, offset_reloc_len))
          goto done;

Does this make sense?
