Marcus and Satya reported an issue where BTF_ID macro generates same symbol in separate objects and that breaks final vmlinux link.
ld.lld: error: ld-temp.o <inline asm>:14577:1: symbol '__BTF_ID__struct__cgroup__624' is already defined
This can be triggered under specific configs when __COUNTER__ happens to be the same for the same symbol in two different translation units, which is already quite unlikely to happen.
Add __LINE__ number suffix to make BTF_ID symbol more unique, which is not a complete fix, but it would help for now and meanwhile we can work on better solution as suggested by Andrii.
