Andrii Nakryiko 36e68442d1 bpf: Load and verify kernel module BTFs
Add kernel module listener that will load/validate and unload module BTF.
Module BTFs gets ID generated for them, which makes it possible to iterate
them with existing BTF iteration API. They are given their respective module's
names, which will get reported through GET_OBJ_INFO API. They are also marked
as in-kernel BTFs for tooling to distinguish them from user-provided BTFs.

Also, similarly to vmlinux BTF, kernel module BTFs are exposed through
sysfs as /sys/kernel/btf/<module-name>. This is convenient for user-space
tools to inspect module BTF contents and dump their types with existing tools:

[vmuser@archvm bpf]$ ls -la /sys/kernel/btf
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root       0 Nov  4 19:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root       0 Nov  4 19:46 ..

...
