Fix regression in libbpf, introduced by XDP link change, which causes XDP
programs to fail to be loaded into kernel due to specified BPF_XDP
expected_attach_type. While kernel doesn't enforce expected_attach_type for
BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP, some old kernels already support XDP program, but they
don't yet recognize expected_attach_type field in bpf_attr, so setting it to
non-zero value causes program load to fail.
Luckily, libbpf already has a mechanism to deal with such cases, so just make
expected_attach_type optional for XDP programs.
