bpf_prog_is_offloaded() should return true only when the program is
fully offloaded to the device (like nfp). So here the intent is to
reject kfunc programs because nft should somehow implement them first.
Unless I'm not setting offload_requested somewhere, not sure I see the
problem. LMK if I missed something.

Ugh, will take a look, thank you!
