[PATCH dwarves 3/3] btf_encoder: learn BTF_KIND_MAX value from base BTF when generating split BTF

[Alan Maguire <alan.maguire@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When creating module BTF, the module likely will not have a DWARF
specificiation of BTF_KIND_MAX, so look for it in the base BTF.  For
vmlinux base BTF, the enumeration value is present, so the base BTF
can be checked to limit BTF kind representation.
