Subject: [PATCH  v2 bpf 1/3] bpf: show real jited prog address in /proc/kallsyms

Currently, /proc/kallsyms shows page address of jited bpf program. The
main reason here is to not expose randomized start address. However,
This is not ideal for detailed profiling (find hot instructions from
stack traces). This patch replaces the page address with real prog start
address.

This change is OK because these addresses are still protected by sysctl
kptr_restrict (see kallsyms_show_value()), and only programs loaded by
root are added to kallsyms (see bpf_prog_kallsyms_add()).
