[PATCH bpf v2 0/4] bpf: Fix NULL-ptr-derefs when showing a void BTF type

[Jiayuan Chen]

This series fixes two NULL-ptr-derefs in BTF handling.

Patch 1 handles the syzbot report. A key-less BTF (btf_key_type_id == 0) used
to be rejected for hash maps, until htab and rhtab gained a ->map_check_btf
(to register a dtor) that does not look at the key, so a key-less hash map is
now accepted. Dumping it through bpffs feeds the key type_id 0 into
btf_type_seq_show() and NULL-derefs in btf_type_show(). Reject it again.

Patch 2 fixes a related, pre-existing crash reachable via bpf_snprintf_btf().
A "const void" type_id (a modifier that resolves to void, present in the
vmlinux BTF) NULL-derefs in btf_modifier_show() - void has no ->show op.
void has no size and nothing to render, so route the show call sites through
a helper that falls back to btf_df_show() - the "<unsupported kind:N>"
placeholder already used for FWD/FUNC/FLOAT/DECL_TAG.

Patches 3 and 4 add selftests for the two cases. They are meant to reproduce
the crashes: each deliberately walks the faulting path, so on an unfixed
kernel it oopses the task (and panics it under panic_on_oops). That is
intentional - the tests verify the fix and reproduce the bug - so a static
review flagging them for crashing an unfixed kernel can be ignored.

v1 -> v2: AI reported a pre-exist issue. Let's fold it in this series.
