hi,
I'm getting following declaration for bpf_rbtree_add_impl:

	extern int bpf_rbtree_add_impl(struct bpf_rb_root * root, struct bpf_rb_node * node, bool (struct bpf_rb_node *, const struct bpf_rb_node *)* less, void * meta__ign, u64 off) __ksym; 

and it fails to compile with:

	In file included from skeleton/pid_iter.bpf.c:3:
	./vmlinux.h:164511:141: error: expected ')'
	 164511 | extern int bpf_rbtree_add_impl(struct bpf_rb_root * root, struct bpf_rb_node * node, bool (struct bpf_rb_node *, const struct bpf_rb_node *)* less, void * meta__ign, u64 off) __ksym;
		|                                                                                                                                             ^
	./vmlinux.h:164511:31: note: to match this '('
	 164511 | extern int bpf_rbtree_add_impl(struct bpf_rb_root * root, struct bpf_rb_node * node, bool (struct bpf_rb_node *, const struct bpf_rb_node *)* less, void * meta__ign, u64 off) __ksym;

looks like the btf_dumper_type_only won't dump function pointer argument
properly.. I guess we should fix that, but looking at the other stuff in
vmlinux.h like *_ops struct we can print function pointers properly, so
perhaps another way around is to use btf_dumper interface instead
