hmm.. ok, not critical to me

if you process main_prog->insns first all the calls to subprogs would
be updated, then it recursively would do this right before a new
subprog is added (initial call is bpf_object__reloc_code(obj, prog,
prog) where prog is entry-point program). But either way I'm not
suggesting doing this and splitting this logic into two places.

Yes, I'm proposing to do another loop in bpf_object__relocate() before
we start adding subprogs to main_progs. The reason is that
bpf_object__reloc_code() is called recursively many times for the same
main_prog, so doing that here is O(N^2) in the number of total
instructions in main_prog. It processes the same (already processed)
instructions many times unnecessarily. It's wasteful and unclean.
