resolve_btfids: Discover kfuncs from BTF ID sets

Browse source

collect_kfuncs() currently uses bpf_kfunc decl tags to identify the
list of kfuncs. The decl tags are generated by pahole, which makes
current implementation implicitly rely on those tags being generated.

The authoritative source, used by the the BPF verifier for kfunc
registration, of functions being BPF kfuncs are
BTF_KFUNCS_START()/END() declarations. These are BTF_ID_SET8 under the
hood. Currently resolve_btfids reads kfunc flags from these sets, and
populates them with BTF IDs.

Implement kfunc discovery from BTF_ID_SET8 symbols in resolve_btfids,
removing the dependency on pahole's emmission of decl tags.

Walk BTF_ID_KIND_SET8 sets, and use the address-to-symbol index to
look up set entry's BTF_ID symbol name (before .BTF_ids is patched),
recording the paired flags directly. This makes find_kfunc_flags()
helper unnecessary, so it's removed.
