5d01ab7bac46 ("libbpf: fix erroneous multi-closing of BTF FD") introduced backwards-compatibility issue, manifesting itself as -E2BIG error returned on program load due to unknown non-zero btf_fd attribute value for BPF_PROG_LOAD sys_bpf() sub-command. This patch fixes bug by ensuring that we only ever associate BTF FD with program if there is a BTF.ext data that was successfully loaded into kernel, which automatically means kernel supports func_info/line_info and associated BTF FD for progs (checked and ensured also by BTF sanitization code).
