libbpf: Support kernel module function calls
This patch adds libbpf support for kernel module function call support. The fd_array parameter is used during BPF program load to pass module BTFs referenced by the program. insn->off is set to index into this array, but starts from 1, because insn->off as 0 is reserved for btf_vmlinux. We try to use existing insn->off for a module, since the kernel limits the maximum distinct module BTFs for kfuncs to 256, and also because index must never exceed the maximum allowed value that can fit in insn->off (INT16_MAX). In the future, if kernel interprets signed offset as unsigned for kfunc calls, this limit can be increased to UINT16_MAX. Also introduce a btf__find_by_name_kind_own helper to start searching from module BTF's start id when we know that the BTF ID is not present in vmlinux BTF (in find_ksym_btf_id).
