Subject: [PATCH bpf v1] tools/libbpf: avoid counting local symbols in ABI check

Encountered the following failure building libbpf from kernel 5.8.5 sources
with GCC 8.4.0 and binutils 2.34: (long paths shortened)

  Warning: Num of global symbols in sharedobjs/libbpf-in.o (234) does NOT
  match with num of versioned symbols in libbpf.so (236). Please make sure
  all LIBBPF_API symbols are versioned in libbpf.map.

Investigation shows _fini and _init are actually local symbols counted
amongst global ones:

  $ readelf --dyn-syms --wide libbpf.so|head -10

  Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 343 entries:
     Num:    Value  Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
       0: 00000000     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT  UND

       6: 0000ffa4     8 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 bpf_object__find_map_by_offset@@LIBBPF_0.0.1

A previous commit filtered global symbols in sharedobjs/libbpf-in.o. Do the
same with the libbpf.so DSO for consistent comparison.

Fixes: 306b267cb3c4 ("libbpf: Verify versioned symbols")
