Does it make sense to have a new bpf_log.h and move these in there?
We can then include it from verifier.c only. Looks like bpf_verifier.h
is included in a bunch of places and those symbols don't have a prefix
and might (potentially) clash with something else in the future.

Or is not a super clear cut?
