Subject: [PATCH -fixes] bpf: resolve_btfids: Fix integer overflow when calling elf_update()

The following error was encoutered in [1]:

FAILED elf_update(WRITE): no error

elf_update() returns the total size of the file which here happens to be
a ~2.5GB vmlinux file: this size overflows the integer used to hold the
return value of elf_update() and is then interpreted as being negative.

So fix this by using the correct type expected by elf_update() which is
off_t.

Fixes: fbbb68de80a4 ("bpf: Add resolve_btfids tool to resolve BTF IDs in ELF object")
