bpf: Factor out fd returning from bpf_btf_find_by_name_kind

In next few patches, we need a helper that searches all kernel BTFs
(vmlinux and module BTFs), and finds the type denoted by 'name' and
'kind'. Turns out bpf_btf_find_by_name_kind already does the same thing,
but it instead returns a BTF ID and optionally fd (if module BTF). This
is used for relocating ksyms in BPF loader code (bpftool gen skel -L).

We extract the core code out into a new helper bpf_find_btf_id, which
returns the BTF ID in the return value, and BTF pointer in an out
parameter. The reference for the returned BTF pointer is always raised,
hence user must either transfer it (e.g. to a fd), or release it after
use.
