Jakub reminded me of the other things I wanted to ask here bug forgot:

- setsockopt is probably not needed, right? setsockopt hook triggers
  before the kernel and shouldn't leak anything
- for getsockopt, instead of bypassing bpf completely, should we instead
  ignore the error from the bpf program? that would still preserve
  the observability aspect
- or maybe we can even have a per-proto bpf_getsockopt_cleanup call that
  gets called whenever bpf returns an error to make sure protocols have
  a chance to handle that condition (and free the fd)
