We actually had an implementation of the same tracepoint+bpf
introspection via BPF_PROG_QUERY command that we use for cgroup+bpf,
but it looks cleaner to use ioctl() style of api here,
since attach to tracepoint/kuprobe is also done via ioctl.

For the set:

The patch touches 3 lines in events/core.c but most likely
it won't conflict with anything in tip, so we plan to have
this set in bpf-next.git -> net-next.git only.

Thanks
