libbpf: Work around kernel inconsistently stripping '.llvm.' suffix

Some versions of kernel were stripping out '.llvm.<hash>' suffix from
kerne symbols (produced by Clang LTO compilation) from function names
reported in available_filter_functions, while kallsyms reported full
original name. This confuses libbpf's multi-kprobe logic of finding all
matching kernel functions for specified user glob pattern by joining
available_filter_functions and kallsyms contents, because joining by
full symbol name won't work for symbols containing '.llvm.<hash>' suffix.

This was eventually fixed by [0] in the kernel, but we'd like to not
regress multi-kprobe experience and add a work around for this bug on
libbpf side, stripping kallsym's name if it matches user pattern and
contains '.llvm.' suffix.
