[ Upstream commit d8123624506cd62730c9cd9c7672c698e462703d ]
Make data section layout checks stricter, disallowing overlap of types and
strings data.
Additionally, allow BTFs with no type data. There is nothing inherently wrong
with having BTF with no types (put potentially with some strings). This could
be a situation with kernel module BTFs, if module doesn't introduce any new
type information.
Also fix invalid offset alignment check for btf->hdr->type_off.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
