Pass a cookie along with BPF_LINK_CREATE requests.
Add a bpf_cookie field to struct bpf_tracing_link to attach a cookie.
The cookie of a bpf_tracing_link is available by calling
bpf_get_attach_cookie when running the BPF program of the attached
link.
The value of a cookie will be set at bpf_tramp_run_ctx by the
trampoline of the link.

Replace struct bpf_tramp_progs with struct bpf_tramp_links to collect
struct bpf_tramp_link(s) for a trampoline. struct bpf_tramp_link
extends bpf_link to act as a linked list node.
arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline() accepts a struct bpf_tramp_links to
collects all bpf_tramp_link(s) that a trampoline should call.
Change BPF trampoline and bpf_struct_ops to pass bpf_tramp_links
instead of bpf_tramp_progs.

Add a hashmap to map the string offsets from a source btf to the
string offsets from a target btf to reduce overheads.
btf__add_btf() calls btf__add_str() to add strings from a source to a
target btf. It causes many string comparisons, and it is a major
hotspot when adding a big btf. btf__add_str() uses strcmp() to check
if a hash entry is the right one. The extra hashmap here compares
offsets of strings, that are much cheaper. It remembers the results
of btf__add_str() for later uses to reduce the cost.
We are parallelizing BTF encoding for pahole by creating separated btf
instances for worker threads. These per-thread btf instances will be
added to the btf instance of the main thread by calling btf__add_str()
to deduplicate and write out. With this patch and -j4, the running
time of pahole drops to about 6.0s from 6.6s.

V4 fixes a bug of error checking against the pointer returned by
hashmap__new().
