[PATCH -improve] tools lib bpf: Fix map offsets in relocation

Commit 4708bbda5cb2 ("tools lib bpf: Fix maps resolution") attempted to
fix map resolution by identifying the number of symbols that point to
maps, and using this number to resolve each of the maps.

However, during relocation the original definition of the map size was
still in use. For up to two maps, the calculation was correct if there
was a small difference in size between the map definition in libbpf and
the one that the client library uses. However if the difference was
large, particularly if more than two maps were used in the BPF program,
the relocation would fail.

For example, when using a map definition with size 28, with three maps,
map relocation would count
(sym_offset / sizeof(struct bpf_map_def) => map_idx)
(0 / 16 => 0), ie map_idx = 0
(28 / 16 => 1), ie map_idx = 1
(56 / 16 => 3), ie map_idx = 3

So, libbpf reports:
libbpf: bpf relocation: map_idx 3 large than 2

Fix map relocation by checking the exact offset of maps when doing
relocation.
