Vinicius Costa Gomes reported [0] that build fails when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled and CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL is disabled. This leads to btf.c not being compiled, and then no symbol being present in vmlinux for the declarations in btf.h. Since BTF is not useful without enabling BPF subsystem, disallow this combination. However, theoretically disabling both now could still fail, as the symbol for kfunc_btf_id_list variables is not available. This isn't a problem as the compiler usually optimizes the whole register/unregister call, but at lower optimization levels it can fail the build in linking stage. Fix that by adding dummy variables so that modules taking address of them still work, but the whole thing is a noop.
