[PATCH 2/2] libtraceevent utest: Avoid host-specific getname_flags output

test_btf_read() loads /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux and expects
getname_flags() to print exactly two arguments:

  getname_flags(filename=0x7ffe7d33f3d0, flags=0)

That prototype is not stable across kernels. On a Rocky Linux 9.7
system, the kernel BTF for getname_flags() has a third parameter named
empty, and tep_btf_print_args() correctly prints it.

Keep the exact output check for hosts that match the expected prototype.
For hosts that append extra getname_flags() BTF parameters after the
expected arguments, treat that host-specific suffix as an acceptable
variant only if the output still has the expected argument prefix and a
complete closing suffix.

Fixes: 0294b73f17e9 ("libtraceevent utest: Add simple test to test BTF parsing")
