There is no need for "___flavor" on the kernel side of type definition.
It makes the test confusing to read.

We have BTF_TYPE_EMIT() macro to avoid unnecessary declaration.

With <=1 in the previous patch such single depth of func_proto
was reaching the recursion limit.
Hence the fix <=0 was necessary.
I've also changed this test to:

+typedef int (*func_proto_typedef)(long);
+typedef int (*func_proto_typedef_nested1)(func_proto_typedef);
+typedef int (*func_proto_typedef_nested2)(func_proto_typedef_nested1);

in bpf_testmod.c and in progs/core_kern_overflow.c
and
bpf_core_type_exists(func_proto_typedef_nested2);
to go above the limit.

Also added bpf_core_type_exists(func_proto_typedef_nested1)
to progs/core_kern.c to stay at the limit.

Please see the result in bpf-next.
