LGTM. Applied to bpf-next, fixed typo in patch 3 subject, and also
made few adjustments. Let me know if you object to any of them:

1. I felt like the original copyright year should be preserved when
moving code into a new file, so I've changed relo_core.h's year to
2019. Hope that's fine.
2. relo_core.c didn't have a Copyright line, so I added the /*
Copyright (c) 2019 Facebook */ as well.
3. I trimmed down the list of #includes in core_relo.c, because most
of them were absolutely irrelevant and just preserved as-is from
libbpf.c Everything seems to compile just fine without those.
