BTW, you will need a little more than that, I suspect the compiler optimizes out
the register/unregister call so we don't see a build failure, but adding a side
effect gives me errors, so something like this should resolve the problem (since
kfunc_btf_id_list variable definition is behind CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL).
