I named it so because the corresponding helper which is taking a ref is named
btf_get_by_fd(). And btf_get() is actually increasing a refcnt. In the bpf_map
case naming is a bit different (and also not super-consistent,
bpf_map_inc/bpf_map_put to +- refcnt). Do you want me to make names more
consistent, globally?
