Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpf: change var type of BTF_ID_LIST to static

The BTF_ID_LIST macro definition in btf_ids.h:
   #define BTF_ID_LIST(name)                \
   __BTF_ID_LIST(name)                      \
   extern u32 name[];

The variable defined in __BTF_ID_LIST has
".local" directive, which means the variable
is only available in the current file.
So change the scope of "name" in the declaration
from "extern" to "static".
