It feels sloppy to first try without base BTF and then fallback to
base BTF. When specified ID of BTF object, let's just get its struct
bpf_btf_info with bpf_obj_get_info_by_fd() and then check that
kernel_btf is set and name isn't "vmlinux". This will mean it's kernel
module, so load base BTF from /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux. If that fails,
there is no way that kernel module BTF will be successfully loaded, so
there is no point in trying.
