BPF type compatibility checks (bpf_core_types_are_compat()) are currently duplicated between kernel and user space. That's a historical artifact more than intentional doing and can lead to subtle bugs where one implementation is adjusted but another is forgotten. That happened with the enum64 work, for example, where the libbpf side was changed (commit 23b2a3a8 ("libbpf: Add enum64 relocation support")) to use the btf_kind_core_compat() helper function but the kernel side was not (commit 6089fb32 ("bpf: Add btf enum64 support")). This patch addresses both the duplication issue, by merging both implementations and moving them into relo_core.c, and fixes the alluded to kind check (by giving preference to libbpf's already adjusted logic).
