bpf: Assign ID to vmlinux BTF and return extra info for BTF in GET_OBJ_INFO
Allocate ID for vmlinux BTF. This makes it visible when iterating over all BTF
objects in the system. To allow distinguishing vmlinux BTF (and later kernel
module BTF) from user-provided BTFs, expose extra kernel_btf flag, as well as
BTF name ("vmlinux" for vmlinux BTF, will equal to module's name for module
BTF). We might want to later allow specifying BTF name for user-provided BTFs
as well, if that makes sense. But currently this is reserved only for
in-kernel BTFs.
Having in-kernel BTFs exposed IDs will allow to extend BPF APIs that require
in-kernel BTF type with ability to specify BTF types from kernel modules, not
just vmlinux BTF. This will be implemented in a follow up patch set for
fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm/etc.
