bpf: remove explicit handling of 0 for arg2 in bpf_probe_read
Commit 9c019e2bc4b2 ("bpf: change helper bpf_probe_read arg2 type to ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO") changed arg2 type to ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO to simplify writing bpf programs by taking advantage of the new semantics introduced for ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO which allows <!NULL, 0> arguments. In order to prevent the helper from actually passing a NULL pointer to probe_kernel_read, which can happen when <NULL, 0> is passed to the helper, the commit also introduced an explicit check against size == 0. After the recent introduction of the ARG_PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL type, bpf_probe_read can not receive a pair of <NULL, 0> arguments anymore, thus the check is not needed anymore and can be removed, since probe_kernel_read can correctly handle a <!NULL, 0> call. This also fixes the semantics of the helper before it gets officially released and bpf programs start relying on this check.
