On configs with CONFIG_BPF=y but CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=n (e.g. arm
multi_v7_defconfig), kernel/bpf/core.c defines a __weak
bpf_arena_handle_page_fault() while bpf_defs.h already supplies a static
inline stub for it, causing a redefinition error. Build the __weak
definition only under CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL, matching the bpf_defs.h
declaration and the CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL-gated strong definition in arena.c.
