I found that traceprobe_get_btf() only returns the vmlinux's btf. But
if the function is
defined in a kernel module, we should get the module's btf.
Good catch! That should be a separated fix (or improvement?)
I think it's better to use btf_get() and btf_put(), and pass btf via
traceprobe_parse_context.
Hmm, it seems that there is no exposed API to get the module's btf.
Should I use btf_idr and btf_idr_lock directly to find the corresponding
btf? If there isn't yet, I will add it too.
There is bpf_find_btf_id.
Probably drop 'static' from it and use it.
