Commit 6018e1f407cc ("bpf: implement numbers iterator") added the BTF_TYPE_EMIT line that this patch is modifying. The struct btf_iter_num doesn't exist, so only a forward declaration is emitted in BTF: FWD 'btf_iter_num' fwd_kind=struct That commit was probably hoping to ensure that struct bpf_iter_num is emitted in vmlinux BTF. A previous version of this patch changed the line to emit the correct type, but Yonghong confirmed that it would definitely be emitted regardless in [0], so this patch simply removes the line. This isn't marked "Fixes" because the extraneous btf_iter_num FWD wasn't causing any issues that I noticed, aside from mild confusion when I looked through the code.
