I hit a memory leak when testing bpf_program__set_attach_target(). Basically, set_attach_target() may allocate btf_vmlinux, for example, when setting attach target for bpf_iter programs. But btf_vmlinux is freed only in bpf_object_load(), which means if we only open bpf object but not load it, setting attach target may leak btf_vmlinux. So let's free btf_vmlinux in bpf_object__close() anyway.
