Allow ld_imm64 insn with BPF_PSEUDO_BTF_ID to hold the address of kfunc. The ld_imm64 pointing to a valid kfunc will be seen as non-null PTR_TO_MEM by is_branch_taken() logic of the verifier, while libbpf will resolve address to unknown kfunc as ld_imm64 reg, 0 which will also be recognized by is_branch_taken() and the verifier will proceed dead code elimination. BPF programs can use this logic to detect at load time whether kfunc is present in the kernel with bpf_ksym_exists() macro that is introduced in the next patches.

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.
