When trying to convert the BTF for a function pointer marked "noreturn"
to C code, bpftool currently generates a syntax error. This happens with
the exit() pointer in drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/efistub.h, in an
arm64 vmlinux. When dealing with this declaration:
efi_status_t __noreturn (__efiapi *exit)(...);
bpftool produces the following output:
efi_status_tvolatile (*exit)(...);
Fix the error by inserting the space before the function modifier.
Fixes: 351131b51c7a ("libbpf: add btf_dump API for BTF-to-C conversion")
