bpf_probe_read_kernel() has a __weak definition in core.c and another
definition with an incompatible prototype in kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c,
when CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS is enabled.

Since the two are incompatible, there cannot be a shared declaration in
a header file, but the lack of a prototype causes a W=1 warning:

kernel/bpf/core.c:1638:12: error: no previous prototype for 'bpf_probe_read_kernel' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

On 32-bit architectures, the local prototype

u64 __weak bpf_probe_read_kernel(void *dst, u32 size, const void *unsafe_ptr)

passes arguments in other registers as the one in bpf_trace.c

BPF_CALL_3(bpf_probe_read_kernel, void *, dst, u32, size,
             const void *, unsafe_ptr)

which uses 64-bit arguments in pairs of registers.

Change the core.c file to only reference the inner
bpf_probe_read_kernel_common() helper and provide a prototype for that,
to ensure this is compatible with both definitions.
