bpf_probe_read_kernel() has a __weak definition in core.c and another
definition with an incompatible prototype in kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c,
when CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS is enabled.

Since the two are incompatible, there cannot be a shared declaration
in a header file, but the lack of a prototype causes a W=1 warning:

kernel/bpf/core.c:1638:12: error: no previous prototype for 'bpf_probe_read_kernel' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Change the core.c file to only reference the inner
bpf_probe_read_kernel_common() helper and provide a prototype for that.

Aside from the warning, this addresses a bug on 32-bit architectures
from incorrect argument passing with the mismatched prototype.

Could you explain what is this '32-bit architectures ... incorrect argument passing' thing?
