LLVM 17 started treating const structs as constants:

* https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/0b2d5b967d98

Combined with pointer laundering via ptr_to_u64, which takes a const ptr,
but in reality treats the underlying memory as mutable, this makes clang
always pass zero to btf__type_by_id, which breaks full name resolution.

Disassembly before (LLVM 16) and after (LLVM 17):

    -    8b 75 cc                 mov    -0x34(%rbp),%esi
    -    e8 47 8d 02 00           call   3f5b0 <btf__type_by_id>
    +    31 f6                    xor    %esi,%esi
    +    e8 a9 8c 02 00           call   3f510 <btf__type_by_id>

It's a bigger project to fix this properly (and a question whether LLVM
itself should detect this), but for right now let's just fix bpftool.
