is it worth having this as a separate global function? If
btf_find_by_name_kind returns valid ID, then you don't really need to
check btf_type_by_id result, it is always going to be valid. So the
pattern becomes:

type_id = btf_find_by_name_kind(btf, name, kind);
if (type_id < 0)
goto handle_error;
t = btf_type_by_id(btf, type_id);
/* now just use t */

which is not much more verbose than:

t = btf_type_by_name_kind(btf, name, kind);
if (IS_ERR(t))
goto handle_error
/* now use t */
