[PATCH bpf-next v5 3/9] libbpf: Probe percpu data feature

[Leon Hwang]

libbpf needs a reliable way to distinguish kernels that can support
global percpu data from those that cannot.

Add a dedicated feature probe, so libbpf can make capability decisions
early and fail predictably when global percpu data is unavailable.
