Yichong Chen bda6a7308e bpftool: Fix vmlinux BTF leak in cgroup commands
bpftool cgroup show and tree call libbpf_find_kernel_btf() to
resolve attach_btf names, but never release the returned BTF object.

For cgroup tree, do_show_tree_fn() is called once for each cgroup
visited by nftw(). When more than one cgroup has attached programs,
each callback overwrites btf_vmlinux with a new object and loses the
previous allocation.

Load vmlinux BTF only once during a tree walk and release it when
cgroup show or tree completes. Reset btf_vmlinux_id at the same time
so batch mode starts with clean state.

Fixes: 596f5fb2ea ("bpftool: implement cgroup tree for BPF_LSM_CGROUP")
