I want to avoid fragmented memory allocation for storing bpf_object 
pointers.
Storing them together into an array can make code simpler. I think I can 
made
something like 'struct bpf_object *bpf_next_object(obj)' in libbpf so we can
iterate over each loaded bpf objects, then this array and nr_objects can be
hidden.
