The function prototype of bpf_session_{cookie,is_return} is changed in
the commit 8fe4dc4f6456 ("bpf: change prototype of
bpf_session_{cookie,is_return}"), which is not friendly to the old kernel,
as the libbpf will fail on the compatible checking.

Therefore, let's skip the checking of bpf_session_{cookie,is_return} in
libbpf, and just let the kernel do the checking.
