This patch fixes the bug introduced back in 8a138aed4a80 ("bpf: btf:
Add BTF support to libbpf"), but a bunch of other refactorings
happened since then, adding/renaming struct btf internals. The fix
here is not that critical, so it's probably best to just drop this
patch from the stable, if possible. Would it be ok, Greg?
