Adin Scannell ad9c4941d3 libbpf: Fix possible use-after-free for externs
[ Upstream commit fa6f092cc0 ]

The `name` field in `obj->externs` points into the BTF data at initial
open time. However, some functions may invalidate this after opening and
before loading (e.g. `bpf_map__set_value_size`), which results in
pointers into freed memory and undefined behavior.

The simplest solution is to simply `strdup` these strings, similar to
the `essent_name`, and free them at the same time.

In order to test this path, the `global_map_resize` BPF selftest is
modified slightly to ensure the presence of an extern, which causes this
test to fail prior to the fix. Given there isn't an obvious API or error
to test against, I opted to add this to the existing test as an aspect
of the resizing feature rather than duplicate the test.
