[PATCH bpf-next] libbpf: add extra BPF_PROG_TYPE check to bpf_object__probe_loading

[Jonathan Edwards <jonathan.edwards@165gc.onmicrosoft.com>]

eBPF has been backported for RHEL 7 w/ kernel 3.10-940+ [0]. However 
only the following program types are supported [1]

BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE
BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT
BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT

For libbpf this causes an EINVAL return during the bpf_object__probe_loading
call which only checks to see if programs of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER
can load.

The following will try BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT as a fallback attempt before 
erroring out. BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE was not a good candidate because on some
kernels it requires knowledge of the LINUX_VERSION_CODE.
