this line is unnecessary, since you're freeing the whole array
at the line below:

just realized that this API keeps elf file open for the whole
life time. I think that should be split up.
bpf_open_object() can do elf parsing, creation of maps and
bpf loading.
bpf_close_object() can unload programs, maps. That's fine,
but closing of elf file and freeing memory associated
with parsing sections should be a separate call.
