Subject: Strange samples/bpf loading error for maps on net-next?

To provoke this bug, remember that you MUST call:

 make headers_install

In the kernels root directory, else you will be compiling samples/bpf/
against the older headers previously installed.

The error looks like:

 $ sudo ./sockex1
 bpf_load_program() err=22
 fd 0 is not pointing to valid bpf_map
 sockex1: [...]/samples/bpf/sockex1_user.c:26: main: Assertion `setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_BPF, prog_fd, sizeof(prog_fd[0])) == 0' failed.
 Aborted

I've found that the bug were introduced in
 commit: fb30d4b71214 ("bpf: Add tests for map-in-map")
