we could end up in situation when we have object file w/ all btf
info but kernel does not support btf yet. in this situation currently
libbpf just set obj->btf to NULL w/o freeing it first.
this patch if fixing it by making sure to run btf__free first
v2->v3:
- adding "Fixes" tag
v1->v2:
- adding netdev to cc
Fixes: 8a138aed4a80 ("bpf: btf: Add BTF support to libbpf")
