[PATCH bpf-next] selftests/bpf: Make sure libbpf doesn't enforce the signature of a func pointer.

[Kui-Feng Lee <thinker.li@xxxxxxxxx>]

The verifier in the kernel checks the signatures of struct_ops
operators. Libbpf should not verify it in order to allow flexibility in
loading different implementations of an operator with different signatures
to try to comply with the kernel, even if the signature defined in the BPF
programs does not match with the implementations and the kernel.

This feature enables user space applications to manage the variations
between different versions of the kernel by attempting various
implementations of an operator.

This is a follow-up of the commit c911fc61a7ce ("libbpf: Skip zeroed or
null fields if not found in the kernel type.")
