Sorry, messed up the git submit with two unrelated patches. Please ignore this.
Will submit the correct one soon.

I hit the following failure when running selftests with
internal backported upstream kernel:
test_ksyms:PASS:kallsyms_fopen 0 nsec
test_ksyms:FAIL:ksym_find symbol 'bpf_link_fops' not found
#123 ksyms:FAIL
In /proc/kallsyms, we have
$ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep bpf_link_fops
ffffffff829f0cb0 d bpf_link_fops.llvm.12608678492448798416
The CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN is enabled in the kernel which is responsible
for bpf_link_fops.llvm.12608678492448798416 symbol name.
In prog_tests/ksyms.c we have
kallsyms_find("bpf_link_fops", &link_fops_addr)
and kallsyms_find() compares "bpf_link_fops" with symbols
in /proc/kallsyms in order to find the entry. With
bpf_link_fops.llvm.<hash> in /proc/kallsyms, the kallsyms_find()
failed.
To fix the issue, in kallsyms_find(), if a symbol has suffix
.llvm.<hash>, that suffix will be ignored for comparison.
This fixed the test failure.
