It's not just probe_loading, loading BTF is also privileged. We need
to also think whether to really resolve externs and do other steps.
Non-weak externs might prevent BTFgen from working, if the intended
host kernel will have the extern, but the host on which you are
generating reduced BTF doesn't have such kernel symbol.

For BTFGen, keeping the amount of work done in preparation to a
minimum (which basically means load BTF and perform CO-RE
relocations), would probably be the simplest and also best.

Let me get back to reviewing this patch set tomorrow. It's pretty late
today, not the best time to do a thorough review.
