This change updates the BPF syscall loader to relocate BTF_KIND_FUNC relocations, with support for weak kfunc relocations. The general idea is to move map_fds to loader map, and also use the data for storing kfunc BTF fds. Since both reuse the fd_array parameter, they need to be kept together. For map_fds, we reserve MAX_USED_MAPS slots in a region, and for kfunc, we reserve MAX_KFUNC_DESCS. This is done so that insn->off has more chances of being <= INT16_MAX than treating data map as a sparse array and adding fd as needed. When the MAX_KFUNC_DESCS limit is reached, we fall back to the sparse array model, so that as long as it does remain <= INT16_MAX, we pass an index relative to the start of fd_array. We store all ksyms in an array where we try to avoid calling the bpf_btf_find_by_name_kind helper, and also reuse the BTF fd that was already stored. This also speeds up the loading process compared to emitting calls in all cases, in later tests.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
