Jackie Liu b9c4ad5468 libbpf: Use available_filter_functions_addrs with multi-kprobes
Now that kernel provides a new available_filter_functions_addrs file
which can help us avoid the need to cross-validate
available_filter_functions and kallsyms, we can improve efficiency of
multi-attach kprobes. For example, on my device, the sample program [1]
of start time:

$ sudo ./funccount "tcp_*"

before   after
1.2s     1.0s

Jackie Liu 732c4c6df2 libbpf: Cross-join available_filter_functions and kallsyms for multi-kprobes
When using regular expression matching with "kprobe multi", it scans all
the functions under "/proc/kallsyms" that can be matched. However, not all
of them can be traced by kprobe.multi. If any one of the functions fails
to be traced, it will result in the failure of all functions. The best
approach is to filter out the functions that cannot be traced to ensure
proper tracking of the functions.
