[ Upstream commit 4073213488be542f563eb4b2457ab4cbcfc2b738 ]
sym_is_subprog() is incorrectly rejecting relocations against *weak*
global subprogs. Fix that by realizing that STB_WEAK is also a global
function.
While it seems like verifier doesn't support taking an address of
non-static subprog right now, it's still best to fix support for it on
libbpf side, otherwise users will get a very confusing error during BPF
skeleton generation or static linking due to misinterpreted relocation:
libbpf: prog 'handle_tp': bad map relo against 'foo' in section '.text'
Error: failed to open BPF object file: Relocation failed
It's clearly not a map relocation, but is treated and reported as such
without this fix.
Fixes: 53eddb5e04ac ("libbpf: Support subprog address relocation")
