Hi Alan,

I've looked through this patch and all seems to look good,
two minor notes below.

Thanks,

Is it necessary to adjust btf_free_kfunc_set_tab()? It currently skips
freeing tab->sets[*] for modules. I've added two printk's and it looks
like sets allocated for module here are leaking after insmod/rmmod.

The register_btf_id_dtor_kfuncs() is exported and thus could to be
called from the modules, that's why you update it, right?
Do we want to add such call to bpf_testmod? Currently, with kernel
config used for selftests, I see only identity mappings.
