tools/libbpf: Avoid counting local symbols in ABI check
Encountered the following failure building libbpf from kernel 5.8.5 sources
with GCC 8.4.0 and binutils 2.34: (long paths shortened)
Warning: Num of global symbols in sharedobjs/libbpf-in.o (234) does NOT
match with num of versioned symbols in libbpf.so (236). Please make sure
all LIBBPF_API symbols are versioned in libbpf.map.

Investigation shows _fini and _init are actually local symbols counted
amongst global ones:
$ readelf --dyn-syms --wide libbpf.so|head -10
Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 343 entries:

A previous commit filtered global symbols in sharedobjs/libbpf-in.o. Do the
same with the libbpf.so DSO for consistent comparison.
