libbpf: Resolve symbol conflicts at the same offset for uprobe
Dynamic symbols in shared library may have the same name, for example: $ nm -D /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | grep rwlock_wrlock 000000000009b1a0 T __pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5 000000000009b1a0 T pthread_rwlock_wrlock@@GLIBC_2.34 000000000009b1a0 T pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5 $ readelf -W --dyn-syms /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | grep rwlock_wrlock 706: 000000000009b1a0 878 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 __pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5 2568: 000000000009b1a0 878 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 pthread_rwlock_wrlock@@GLIBC_2.34 2571: 000000000009b1a0 878 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5 Currently, users can't attach a uprobe to pthread_rwlock_wrlock because there are two symbols named pthread_rwlock_wrlock and both are global bind. And libbpf considers it as a conflict. Since both of them are at the same offset we could accept one of them harmlessly. Note that we already does this in elf_resolve_syms_offsets.
