[PATCH bpf-next v6 3/3] bpf: Cache build IDs in sleepable stackmap path

[Ihor Solodrai <ihor.solodrai@linux.dev>]

Stack traces often contain adjacent IPs from the same VMA or from
different VMAs backed by the same ELF file. Cache the last successfully
parsed build id together with the resolved VMA range and backing file
so the sleepable build id path can avoid repeated VMA locking and file
parsing in common cases.
