[PATCH bpf-next v3 02/13] bpf: save subprogram name in bpf_subprog_info

Subprogram name can be computed from function info and BTF, but it is
convenient to have the name readily available for logging purposes.
Update comment saying that bpf_subprog_info->start has to be the first
field, this is no longer true, relevant sites access .start field
by it's name.
