hum, I'd think we should have hit such bug long time ago.. set8 is
there for some time already.. nice ;-)

we could, there's tools/include/linux/btf_ids.h, which we could include
in here, we do that in selftests.. but it needs to be updated with latest
kernel updates (at least with set8 struct)

I think the test came later and I did not think of it for the resolve_btfids
itself, I guess it might make the code more readable
