A bunch of BPF maps do not support specifying types for key and value.
This is non-uniform and inconvenient[0]. Currently, libbpf uses a retry
logic which removes BTF type IDs when BPF map creation failed. Instead
of retrying, this commit recognizes those specialized map and removes
BTF type IDs when creating BPF map.

  [0] Closes: https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/issues/355

s/types/BTF types/, it's a bit confusing otherwise

For patch sets consisting of two or more patches, we ask for a cover
letter, so for the next revision please provide a cover letter with an
overall description of what the series is about.

Let's do this as a more succinct switch statement. Consider also
slightly rearranging entries to keep "related" map types together:
  - SOCKMAP + SOCKHASH
  - DEVMAP + DEVMAP_HASH + CPUMAP + XSKMAP

Thanks!

Please don't remove this fallback logic. There are multiple situations
where libbpf might need to retry map creation without BTF.

Hello, Andrii



Sorry for the long delay. Will send a v2 for review.
