libbpf: Add extra BPF_PROG_TYPE check to bpf_object__probe_loading
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.
