ah right, it's bpftrace program, so there's no BTF loaded for the program
I'll check if there's a way to add it, it'd be shame not to have this
feature for bpftrace programs

there's no way around it, right? we need btf id of the program to attach
fentry/fexit to it

I think we need to fail the function if there's error detected,
and also check on the prog_name and fail if it's not found

plus change all those pr_debug to pr_err in bpf_program_profiler_load_one
