Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 1/2] bpf: libbpf: retry program creation without
 the name

[Recent commit 23499442c319 ("bpf: libbpf: retry map creation without
the name") fixed this issue for maps, let's do the same for programs.]

Since commit 88cda1c9da02 ("bpf: libbpf: Provide basic API support
to specify BPF obj name"), libbpf unconditionally sets bpf_attr->name
for programs. Pre v4.14 kernels don't know about programs names and
return an error about unexpected non-zero data. Retry
bpf_load_program_xattr without a program name to cover older kernels.
