The return type (and btf id) of the bpf_obj_new is 'void *',
but here a function with return type (and btf id) of
'struct task_struct *' is necessary.
For example:

-       t = bpf_obj_new(typeof(*task));
+       t = bpf_task_from_pid(32);

However, if this replacement is done the test does
not signal verification error because of insufficient
checks in the verifier.c:check_return_code().
