let's just call it `bpf_program__attach_netfilter`. We add "_opts" if
we had variant without opts. This doesn't apply here, so a shorter
name is preferable.

this code shouldn't do direct syscall, these high-level APIs should go
through libbpf low-level API. In this case, you need to call
bpf_link_create().

Except bpf_link_create() doesn't really support NETLINK links yet,
which is what we'll need to fix first. bpf_link_create() determines
what kind of parameters to pass to kernel based on bpf_attach_type.
And we currently don't have an attach type for NETLINK BPF link.
Thankfully it's not too late to add it. I see that link_create() in
kernel/bpf/syscall.c just bypasses attach_type check. We shouldn't
have done that. Instead we need to add BPF_NETLINK attach type to enum
bpf_attach_type. And wire all that properly throughout the kernel and
libbpf itself. Thankfully kernel release is not finalized and we can
still fix that up, but please prioritize it before we get too far into
rc releases.

opts and the rest looks good, thanks
