Although you don't include uapi/linux/bpf.h in this patch, logically
you add this dependency.

Please continously add bpf_program__set_socket_filter() and
bpf_program__is_socket_filter() like what we do for tracepoint.
This way libbpf.h is indenpendent from kernel header.

We can use macro in both .h and .c.

Thank you.
