Refactor libbpf's BTF fixup step during BPF object open phase. The only functional change is that we now ignore BTF_VAR_GLOBAL_EXTERN variables during fix up, not just BTF_VAR_STATIC ones, which shouldn't cause any change in behavior as there shouldn't be any extern variable in data sections for valid BPF object anyways. Otherwise it's just collapsing two functions that have no reason to be separate, and switching find_elf_var_offset() helper to return entire symbol pointer, not just its offset. This will be used by next patch to get ELF symbol visibility. While refactoring, also "normalize" debug messages inside btf_fixup_datasec() to follow general libbpf style and print out data section name consistently, where it's available.

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.
