you don't need to resolve symbols, you can pass just array of symbols
to create kprobe_multi link and they will get resolved in kernel:

	struct bpf_link_create_opts {

			struct {
				__u32 flags;
				__u32 cnt;
		--->		const char **syms;
				const unsigned long *addrs;
				const __u64 *cookies;
			} kprobe_multi;
	}

I resolved the symbols in bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts mostly
because the address was available right away when parsing kallsyms,
but passing just symbols for pattern is fine
