Andrii Nakryiko 5e61f27070 libbpf: stop enforcing kern_version, populate it for users
Kernel version enforcement for kprobes/kretprobes was removed from
5.0 kernel in 6c4fc209fc ("bpf: remove useless version check for prog load").
Since then, BPF programs were specifying SEC("version") just to please
libbpf. We should stop enforcing this in libbpf, if even kernel doesn't
care. Furthermore, libbpf now will pre-populate current kernel version
of the host system, in case we are still running on old kernel.

This patch also removes __bpf_object__open_xattr from libbpf.h, as
nothing in libbpf is relying on having it in that header. That function
was never exported as LIBBPF_API and even name suggests its internal
version. So this should be safe to remove, as it doesn't break ABI.

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.
