Kernel build error on BTFIDS vmlinux

[Jesper Dangaard Brouer]

On latest DaveM net-git tree (06a4ec1d9dc652), after linking (LD vmlinux) the
"BTFIDS vmlinux" fails. Are anybody else experiencing this? Are there already a
fix? (just returned from vacation so not fully up-to-date on ML yet)

The tool which is called and error message:
  ./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids vmlinux
  FAILED elf_update(WRITE): invalid section alignment

Note, the tool is only called when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled.

I saved a copy of vmlinux and ran the tool manually with verbose
options, the output is provided below signature.
