I think you need to fix this on samples/bpf side
I tried to play with the samples/bpf/ includes, but couldn't find a way to
make this work.. selftests base includes on tools/include, while samples
have $(objtree)/usr/include as first include and AFAICS the __must_check is
defined under __KERNEL__ ifdef
I guess the reason samples use $(objtree)/usr/include is to get some struct
definitions which are not in tools/include, but looks like some samples objects
already use vmlinux.h include, so that could be the way forward to fix that
or get rid of the trace_helpers.c or bpf/selftests dependency ;-)

nit, sym_cnt should be size_t
