USDT ELF note optionally can record an offset of .stapsdt.base, which is
used to make adjustments to USDT target attach address. Currently,
libbpf will do this address adjustment unconditionally if it finds
.stapsdt.base ELF section in target binary. But there is a corner case
where .stapsdt.base ELF section is present, but specific USDT note
doesn't reference it. In such case, libbpf will basically just add base
address and end up with absolutely incorrect USDT target address.
This adjustment has to be done only if both .stapsdt.sema section is
present and USDT note is recording a reference to it.
