If generating vmlinux.h, make the code to generate it more tolerant by
filtering out paths to kernels that lack a .BTF section.

Wouldn't it be `readelf -S` instead?  Also I think grep needs -q to
suppress output.

This changes the order of processing the sysfs file.
But I'm not sure it matters much as both /boot/vmlinux and sysfs
should refer to the running kernel.

Thanks,

Makes sense, I can change it in v3.

Agreed. readelf fails for /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux as it isn't an elf
file and I'm not sure it is worth worrying too much about the order
here.
