Happy to convert bpf_{qdisc,testmod} gen_{pro,epi}logue to use
BPF_EMIT_CALL instead of BPF_CALL_KFUNC.

If it's alright with you, I'd like to kill kfunc support in
{pro,epi}logue as a follow up.

Looks like there will be a bit of churn in selftests to remove the
coverage. And this series is getting quite long.
