libbpf: Skip modules BTF loading when CAP_SYS_ADMIN is missing
If during CO-RE relocations libbpf is not able to find the target type in the running kernel BTF, it searches for it in modules' BTF. The downside of this approach is that loading modules' BTF requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN and this prevents BPF applications from running with more granular capabilities (e.g. CAP_BPF) when they don't need to search types into modules' BTF. This patch skips by default modules' BTF loading phase when CAP_SYS_ADMIN is missing.
