we just removed the ftrace filter so BTF will have 'all' functions

I think the filtering on pahole side could cause problems like
the recent one with cubictcp_state.. it's just 3 functions, but
what if they rename? this way we at least get compilation error ;-)

I'd go with all functions in BTF and restrict attachment for those
that cause problems
