There are side effects to bringing bpf_helpers.h into libbpf if this
gets propagated to the github sync.

bpf_helpers.h references BPF_FUNC_* which are defined in the
uapi/linux/bpf.h header. That is a kernel version dependent api file
which means attempts to use newer libbpf with older kernel headers is
going to throw errors when compiling bpf programs -- bpf_helpers.h will
contain undefined BPF_FUNC references.
