bpf: Extract internal structs validation logic into helpers

Browse source

The arraymap and hashtab duplicate the logic that checks for and frees
internal structs (timer, workqueue, task_work) based on
BTF record flags. Centralize this by introducing two helpers:

  * bpf_map_has_internal_structs(map)
    Returns true if the map value contains any of internal structs:
    BPF_TIMER | BPF_WORKQUEUE | BPF_TASK_WORK.

  * bpf_map_free_internal_structs(map, obj)
    Frees the internal structs for a single value object.

Convert arraymap and both the prealloc/malloc hashtab paths to use the
new generic functions. This keeps the functionality for when/how to free
these special fields in one place and makes it easier to add support for
new internal structs in the future without touching every map
implementation.
