bpf_map__attach_struct_ops() was creating a dummy bpf_link as a
placeholder, but now it is constructing an authentic one by calling
bpf_link_create() if the map has the BPF_F_LINK flag.

You can flag a struct_ops map with BPF_F_LINK by calling
bpf_map__set_map_flags().

let's drop the "_map" suffix? struct_ops is always a map, so no need
to point this out

Sure!

this is internal helper, so let's not use double underscores, just
bpf_map_update_vdata()

Ok!

So this will always require a programmatic bpf_map__set_map_flags()
call, there is currently no declarative way to do this, right?

Is there any way to avoid this BPF_F_LINK flag approach? How bad would
it be if kernel just always created bpf_link-backed struct_ops?

Alternatively, should we think about SEC(".struct_ops.link") or
something like that to instruct libbpf to add this BPF_F_LINK flag
automatically?

Agree!

The other solution is to add a flag when declare a struct_ops.

 SEC(".struct_ops")
 tcp_congestion_ops ops = {
     ...
     .flags = WITH_LINK,
 }
