Subject: [PATCH] bpftool: Try to read btf as raw data if elf read fails

From: Jiri Olsa <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2019 12:34:04 +0200

The bpftool interface stays the same, but now it's possible
to run it over BTF raw data, like:

  $ bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux
  libbpf: failed to get EHDR from /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux
  [1] INT '(anon)' size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=(none)
  [2] INT 'long unsigned int' size=8 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=64 encoding=(none)
  [3] CONST '(anon)' type_id=2

I'm also adding err init to 0 because I was getting uninitialized
warnings from gcc.
