Instead of btf_check_subprog_arg_match(), use btf_prepare_func_args() logic to validate "trustworthiness" of main BPF program's BTF information, if it is present. We ignored results of original BTF check anyway, often times producing confusing and ominously-sounding "reg type unsupported for arg#0 function" message, which has no apparent effect on program correctness and verification process. All the -EFAULT returning sanity checks are already performed in check_btf_info_early(), so there is zero reason to have this duplication of logic between btf_check_subprog_call() and btf_check_subprog_arg_match(). Dropping btf_check_subprog_arg_match() simplifies btf_check_func_arg_match() further removing `bool processing_call` flag. One subtle bit that was done by btf_check_subprog_arg_match() was potentially marking main program's BTF as unreliable. We do this explicitly now with a dedicated simple check, preserving the original behavior, but now based on well factored btf_prepare_func_args() logic.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
