See https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg480099.html for the whole
discussio, but to make the augmented_syscalls.c BPF program to get built
and loaded successfully in a greater range of kernels, add an extra
check.

Related patch:

  a60dd35d ("bpf: change bpf_perf_event_output arg5 type to ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO")

That is in the kernel since v4.15, I couldn't figure why this is hitting
me with 4.17.17, but adding the workaround discussed there makes this
work with this fedora kernel and with 4.18.recent.
