bpf, kconfig: Fix DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES Kconfig definition
[ Upstream commit 229087f6f1dc2d0c38feba805770f28529980ec0 ]
Turns out that due to CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES not having an
explicitly specified "menu item name" in Kconfig, it's basically
impossible to turn it off (see [0]).
This patch fixes the issue by defining menu name for
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES, which makes it actually adjustable
and independent of CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF, in the sense that one can
have DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES=n.
We still keep it as defaulting to Y, of course.
