Subject: [PATCHv5 bpf] bpf: Move iterator functions into special init section

With upcoming changes to pahole, that change the way how and
which kernel functions are stored in BTF data, we need a way
to recognize iterator functions.

Iterator functions need to be in BTF data, but have no real
body and are currently placed in .init.text section, so they
are freed after kernel init and are filtered out of BTF data
because of that.

The solution is to place these functions under new section:
  .init.bpf.preserve_type

And add 2 new symbols to mark that area:
  __init_bpf_preserve_type_begin
  __init_bpf_preserve_type_end

The code in pahole responsible for picking up the functions will
be able to recognize functions from this section and add them to
the BTF data and filter out all other .init.text functions.

v5 changes:
  - use "" in __section macro due to:
    33def8498fdde180 ("treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo) to __section("foo")")
