btf_parse_kptr() and btf_record_free() do btf_get() and btf_put() respectively when working on btf_record in program and map if there are kptr fields. If the kptr is from program BTF, since both callers has already tracked the life cycle of program BTF, it is safe to remove the btf_get() and btf_put(). This change prevents memory leak of program BTF later when we start searching for kptr fields when building btf_record for program. It can happen when the btf fd is closed. The btf_put() corresponding to the btf_get() in btf_parse_kptr() was supposed to be called by btf_record_free() in btf_free_struct_meta_tab() in btf_free(). However, it will never happen since the invocation of btf_free() depends on the refcount of the btf to become 0 in the first place.

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 reStructuredText 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.
