Before generating bpf trampoline, x86 calls is_valid_bpf_tramp_flags() to check the input flags. This check is architecture independent. So, to be consistent with x86, arm64 should also do this check before generating bpf trampoline. However, the BPF_TRAMP_F_XXX flags are not used by user code and the flags argument is almost constant at compile time, so this run time check is a bit redundant. Remove is_valid_bpf_tramp_flags() and add some comments to the usage of BPF_TRAMP_F_XXX flags, as suggested by Alexei.

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.
