The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - bpf: Silence a warning in btf_type_id_size() syzbot reported a warning in [1] with the following     stacktrace: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5005 at kernel/bpf/btf.c:1988 btf_type_id_size+0x2d9/0x9d0     kernel/bpf/btf.c:1988 ...

    So there is no correctness issue here, we just want to silence warning. To silence the warning, I added     DECL_TAG as one of kinds in btf_type_nosize() which will cause btf_type_id_size() returning NULL earlier     without the warning.
