imo it's a bit weird for vmlinux's BTF to be flagged as 'kernel_btf'
and empty name, but kernel module's BTFs will not be marked as kernel,
but will have a name.
I think it's more natural to make vmlinux and module's BTF with kernel_btf=true 
flag
and give "vmlinux" name to base kernel BTF.
If somebody creates a kernel module with "vmlinux" name we will have a conflict,
but that name is for human pretty printing only anyway, so I think it's fine.
