[ Upstream commit 4073213488be542f563eb4b2457ab4cbcfc2b738 ]
sym_is_subprog() is incorrectly rejecting relocations against *weak* global subprogs. Fix that by realizing that STB_WEAK is also a global function.
While it seems like verifier doesn't support taking an address of non-static subprog right now, it's still best to fix support for it on libbpf side, otherwise users will get a very confusing error during BPF skeleton generation or static linking due to misinterpreted relocation:
libbpf: prog 'handle_tp': bad map relo against 'foo' in section '.text' Error: failed to open BPF object file: Relocation failed
It's clearly not a map relocation, but is treated and reported as such without this fix.
