bpf: remove tracepoints from bpf core tracepoints to bpf core were added as a way to provide introspection to bpf programs and maps, but after some time it became clear that this approach is inadequate, so prog_id, map_id and corresponding get_next_id, get_fd_by_id, get_info_by_fd, prog_query APIs were introduced and fully adopted by bpftool and other applications. The tracepoints in bpf core started to rot and causing syzbot warnings: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3008 at kernel/trace/trace_event_perf.c:274 Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_warn set ... perf_trace_bpf_map_keyval+0x260/0xbd0 include/trace/events/bpf.h:228 trace_bpf_map_update_elem include/trace/events/bpf.h:274 [inline] map_update_elem kernel/bpf/syscall.c:597 [inline] SYSC_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:1478 [inline] Hence this patch deletes tracepoints in bpf core.
