ASan reported a memory leak of BPF-related ksymbols map and dso. The
leak is caused by refount never reaching 0, due to missing __put calls
in the function machine__process_ksymbol_register.
Once the dso is inserted in the map, dso__put() should be called
(map__new2() increases the refcount to 2).
The same thing applies for the map when it's inserted into maps
(maps__insert() increases the refcount to 2).
