bpf/scripts: Assert helper enum value is aligned with comment order
The helper value is ABI as defined by enum bpf_func_id. As bpf_helper_defs.h is used for the userpace part, it must be consistent with this enum. Before this change the comments order was used by the bpf_doc script in order to set the helper values defined in the helpers file. When adding new helpers it is very puzzling when the userspace application breaks in weird places if the comment is inserted instead of appended - because the generated helper ABI is incorrect and shifted. This commit sets the helper value to the enum value. In addition it is currently the practice to have the comments appended and kept in the same order as the enum. As such, add an assertion validating the comment order is consistent with enum value. In case a different comments ordering is desired, this assertion can be lifted.
