Good suggestion. Good thing is that I don't need to figure out a
proper place to disable it any more. I can directly use
cgroup_bpf_enabled(CGROUP_SOCK_OPS) to test if the timestamp should be
printed with BPF program loaded.

BTW, I found that we don't implement how to disable the ip4_min_ttl
static key. Sometimes, I'm confused whether we have to disable it at a
certain time.

Thanks,
Jason
