Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1] bpftool: Silence build warning about calloc()

There exists the following warning when building bpftool:

  CC      prog.o
prog.c: In function ‘profile_open_perf_events’:
prog.c:2301:24: warning: ‘calloc’ sizes specified with ‘sizeof’ in the earlier argument and not in the later argument [-Wcalloc-transposed-args]
 2301 |                 sizeof(int), obj->rodata->num_cpu * obj->rodata->num_metric);
      |                        ^~~
prog.c:2301:24: note: earlier argument should specify number of elements, later size of each element

Tested with the latest upstream GCC which contains a new warning option
-Wcalloc-transposed-args. The first argument to calloc is documented to
be number of elements in array, while the second argument is size of each
element, just switch the first and second arguments of calloc() to silence
the build warning, compile tested only.

Fixes: 47c09d6a9f67 ("bpftool: Introduce "prog profile" command")
