I'm confused with your commit message. How can bpf_load_program_xattr()
make sense here, this is the one doing the bpf syscall. Do you mean to
say bpf_prog_load_xattr()? Because this one sets prog->log_level =
attr->log_level
and calls bpf_object__load() which in turn does bpf_object__load_xattr()
with an attr that has attr->log_level of 0 such that bpf_object__load_progs()
then overrides it. Unless I'm not missing something, please fix up this
description properly and resubmit.
