Right. I think some of these functions may go away, given Eduard's
suggestions.

It is what's happening. btf_encoder__tag_bpf_arena_ptr is called from
btf_encoder__tag_bpf_arena_arg and separately for a return type:

	if (KF_ARENA_RET & kfunc->flags) {
		ret_type_id = btf_encoder__tag_bpf_arena_ptr(encoder->btf, state->ret_type_id);

In both cases the return value is checked and the error message is
different.

I factored out *_arg version of this operation because it has to be
done twice: for _ARG1 and _ARG2.

Maybe I misunderstood you question? lmk

Actually I did write it like that first. IIRC tagging has to be done
before `type_id = state->ret_type_id;` and only when `state` is
passed.

Anyways, I agree it should be clearer that this happens just for some
functions.
