Commit 6018e1f407cc ("bpf: implement numbers iterator") added the
BTF_TYPE_EMIT line that this patch is modifying. The struct btf_iter_num
doesn't exist, so only a forward declaration is emitted in BTF:

   FWD 'btf_iter_num' fwd_kind=struct

Since that commit was probably hoping to ensure that struct bpf_iter_num
is emitted in vmlinux BTF, this patch changes it to the correct type.

This isn't marked "Fixes" because the extraneous btf_iter_num FWD wasn't
causing any issues that I noticed, aside from mild confusion when I
looked through the code.

I think this can be removed instead.

In kernel/bpf/bpf_iter.c, we have
__bpf_kfunc int bpf_iter_num_new(struct bpf_iter_num *it, int start, int end)
__bpf_kfunc int *bpf_iter_num_next(struct bpf_iter_num* it)
__bpf_kfunc void bpf_iter_num_destroy(struct bpf_iter_num *it)

This will ensure that bpf_iter_num btf type will be generated by
the compiler.

/* start == end is legit, it's an empty range and we'll just get NULL
  	 * on first (and any subsequent) bpf_iter_num_next() call
