bpf: Harden __bpf_kfunc tag against linker kfunc removal
BPF kfuncs are often not directly referenced and may be inadvertently
removed by optimization steps during kernel builds, thus the __bpf_kfunc
tag mitigates against this removal by including the __used macro. However,
this macro alone does not prevent removal during linking, and may still
yield build warnings (e.g. on mips64el):

Update the __bpf_kfunc tag to better guard against linker optimization by
including the new __retain compiler macro, which fixes the warnings above.
Verify the __retain macro with readelf by checking object flags for 'R':
$ readelf -Wa kernel/trace/bpf_trace.o
