Subject: [PATCH 1/1] libbpf: Free btf_vmlinux when closing bpf_object

I hit a memory leak when testing bpf_program__set_attach_target().
Basically, set_attach_target() may allocate btf_vmlinux, for example,
when setting attach target for bpf_iter programs. But btf_vmlinux
is freed only in bpf_object_load(), which means if we only open
bpf object but not load it, setting attach target may leak
btf_vmlinux.

So let's free btf_vmlinux in bpf_object__close() anyway.
