There is no need to copy paste that comment from btf_kfunc_id_set_contains().
One place is enough.

How about btf_kfunc_is_modify_return ? 
For consistency.

This is a bit too much copy-paste from register_btf_kfunc_id_set().
Please share the code. Like:

int __register_btf_kfunc_id_set(enum btf_kfunc_hook hook, const struct btf_kfunc_id_set *kset)
{
  ...
}

int register_btf_kfunc_id_set(enum bpf_prog_type prog_type,
                              const struct btf_kfunc_id_set *kset)
{
  hook = bpf_prog_type_to_kfunc_hook(prog_type);
  return __register_btf_kfunc_id_set(hook, kset);
}

int register_btf_fmodret_id_set(const struct btf_kfunc_id_set *kset)
{
  return __register_btf_kfunc_id_set(BTF_KFUNC_HOOK_FMODRET, kset);
}
