Andrii reported a corner case where e.g. global static data is present in the BPF ELF file in form of .data/.bss/.rodata section, but without any relocations to it. Such programs could be loaded before commitd859900c4c("bpf, libbpf: support global data/bss/rodata sections"), whereas afterwards if kernel lacks support then loading would fail. Add a probing mechanism which skips setting up libbpf internal maps in case of missing kernel support. In presence of relocation entries, we abort the load attempt.

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.
