Implement libbpf support for performing CO-RE relocations against types in
kernel module BTFs, in addition to existing vmlinux BTF support.

This is a first step towards fully supporting kernel module BTFs. Subsequent
patch sets will expand kernel and libbpf sides to allow using other
BTF-powered capabilities (fentry/fexit, struct_ops, ksym externs, etc). For
CO-RE relocations support, though, no extra kernel changes are necessary.

This patch set also sets up a convenient and fully-controlled custom kernel
module (called "bpf_testmod"), that is a predictable playground for all the
BPF selftests, that rely on module BTFs.

v1->v2:
  - module_put() inside preempt_disable() region (Alexei);
  - bpf_sidecar -> bpf_testmod rename (Alexei);
  - test_progs more relaxed handling of bpf_testmod;
  - test_progs marks skipped sub-tests properly as SKIP now.

Andrii Nakryiko (7):
  bpf: fix bpf_put_raw_tracepoint()'s use of __module_address()
  libbpf: add internal helper to load BTF data by FD
  libbpf: refactor CO-RE relocs to not assume a single BTF object
  libbpf: add kernel module BTF support for CO-RE relocations
  selftests/bpf: add bpf_testmod kernel module for testing
  selftests/bpf: add support for marking sub-tests as skipped
  selftests/bpf: add CO-RE relocs selftest relying on kernel module BTF
