[RFC PATCH bpf-next 2/6] bpf: btf->resolved_[ids,sizes] should not be used for vmlinux BTF

From: Alan Maguire

When testing support for print data structures using patches
later in this series, I hit NULL pointer dereference bugs when
printing "struct sk_buff". The problem seems to revolve around
that structure's use of a zero-length array in the middle of
the data structure - headers_start[0].

We see in btf_type_id_size() we consult btf->resolved_ids and
btf->resolved_sizes; both of which are not used in kernel
vmlinux BTF so should not be used when handling vmlinux
BTF data.
