See patch #2 for justification. In few words, current eager verification of global func prevents BPF CO-RE approaches to be applied to global functions. Patch #1 is just a nicety to emit global subprog names in verifier logs. Patch #3 adds selftests validating new lazy semantics. v1->v2: - rebases on latest bpf-next resolving conflicts with bpf_loop fixes; - added acks from Eduard and Daniel.
