Kernel functions referenced by .BTF_ids may changed from global to static

the function could be renamed or removed too.

failure when resolve_btfids do id patch for symbols in .BTF_ids in vmlinux.
Update resolve_btfids to emit warning messages and patch zero id for missing
symbols instead of aborting kernel build process.

Why you change "obj->path" to "obj->btf ?: obj->path"?
Note that obj->path cannot be NULL.

The diff didn't see the whole picture. Let me quote it here:
```
btf = btf__parse(obj->btf ?: obj->path, NULL);
err = libbpf_get_error(btf);
if (err) {
         pr_err("FAILED: load BTF from %s: %s\n",
                 obj->path, strerror(-err));
         return -1;
}
```

Because btf__parse parses either obj->btf or obj->path,
I think the error message should reveal this.

Okay, I see, obj->btf may not be NULL due to
                OPT_STRING(0, "btf", &obj.btf, "BTF data",
                           "BTF data"),

How about
  obj->btf ? "input BTF data" : obj->path

The error message like
  FAILED: load BTF from : <error msg>
does not sound good.



           return -1;
       }
