bpf: hold module refcnt in bpf_struct_ops map creation and prog verification.
To ensure that a module remains accessible whenever a struct_ops object of a struct_ops type provided by the module is still in use. struct bpf_struct_ops_map doesn't hold a refcnt to btf anymore since a module will hold a refcnt to it's btf already. But, struct_ops programs are different. They hold their associated btf, not the module since they need only btf to assure their types (signatures). However, verifier holds the refcnt of the associated module of a struct_ops type temporarily when verify a struct_ops prog. Verifier needs the help from the verifier operators (struct bpf_verifier_ops) provided by the owner module to verify data access of a prog, provide information, and generate code. This patch also add a count of links (links_cnt) to bpf_struct_ops_map. It avoids bpf_struct_ops_map_put_progs() from accessing btf after calling module_put() in bpf_struct_ops_map_free().
