Here are four possible case:

At present, cases 0, 1, and 3 can be correctly identified, because
st_ops_xxx is searched from the same btf with xxx. In order to
handle case 2 correctly without affecting other cases, we cannot simply
change the search method for st_ops_xxx from find_btf_by_prefix_kind()
to find_ksym_btf_id(), because in this way, case 1 will not be
recognized anymore.

How about always look for "struct bpf_struct_ops_smc_ops" first,
figure out the btf, and then look for "struct smc_ops", would it
work?

I think this might not work, as the core issue lies in the fact that
bpf_struct_ops_smc_ops and smc_ops are located on different btf.
Searching for one fisrt cannot lead to the inference of the other.

Take a look at btf_find_by_name_kind(btf, 1 /* from base_btf */, ...) and also 
btf_type_by_id(). It starts searching from the btf->base_btf which should be the 
btf_vmlinux here and should have the "struct smc_ops". Please try.
