I think the uapi should use attach_btf_obj_fd here.
Everywhere else uapi is using FDs to point to maps, progs, BTFs of progs.
BTF of a module isn't different from BTF of a program.
Looking at libbpf implementation... it has the FD of a module anyway,
since it needs to fetch it to search for the function btf_id in there.
So there won't be any inconvenience for libbpf to pass FD in here.
From the uapi perspective attach_btf_obj_fd will remove potential
race condition. It's very unlikely race, of course.

The rest of the series look good to me.
