libbpf: Checking the btf_type kind when fixing variable offsets

I encountered an issue when building the test_progs from the repository [1]:

  $ pwd
  /work/Qemu/x86_64/linux-6.10-rc2/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/

  $ make test_progs V=1
  [...]
  ./tools/sbin/bpftool gen object ./ip_check_defrag.bpf.linked2.o ./ip_check_defrag.bpf.linked1.o
  libbpf: failed to find symbol for variable 'bpf_dynptr_slice' in section '.ksyms'
  Error: failed to link './ip_check_defrag.bpf.linked1.o': No such file or directory (2)
  [...]

Upon investigation, I discovered that the btf_types referenced in the '.ksyms'
section had a kind of BTF_KIND_FUNC instead of BTF_KIND_VAR:

  $ bpftool btf dump file ./ip_check_defrag.bpf.linked1.o
  [...]
  [2] DATASEC '.ksyms' size=0 vlen=2
        type_id=16 offset=0 size=0 (FUNC 'bpf_dynptr_from_skb')
        type_id=17 offset=0 size=0 (FUNC 'bpf_dynptr_slice')
  [...]
  [16] FUNC 'bpf_dynptr_from_skb' type_id=82 linkage=extern
  [17] FUNC 'bpf_dynptr_slice' type_id=85 linkage=extern
  [...]

For a detailed analysis, please refer to [2]. We can add a kind checking to
fix the issue.
