  - bpf: Check validity of link->type in bpf_link_show_fdinfo() If a newly-added link type doesn't invoke     BPF_LINK_TYPE(), accessing bpf_link_type_strs[link->type] may result in an out-of-bounds access. To spot     such missed invocations early in the future, checking the validity of link->type in bpf_link_show_fdinfo()     and emitting a warning when such invocations are missed. (CVE-2024-53099)
