Coverity's static analysis helpfully reported a memory leak introduced by0f0e55d824("libbpf: Improve BTF sanitization handling"). While fixing it, I realized that btf__new() already creates a memory copy, so there is no need to do this. So this patch also fixes misleading btf__new() signature to make data into a `const void *` input parameter. And it avoids unnecessary memory allocation and copy in BTF sanitization code altogether.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
