That what the current code did. In lib/Makefile we only compile bpf_libbpf.o
when libbpf enabled.

ifeq ($(HAVE_LIBBPF),y)
UTILOBJ += bpf_libbpf.o
endif

But bpf code in ipvrf.c is special as it calls both legacy code an libbpf code.
If we put it in bpf_legacy.c, then bpf_legacy.c will be corrupt by libbpf.h.
If we put it in bpf_libbpf.c, then we can't build without bpf_libbpf.o when
libbpf disable.

I haven't figured out a better solution.
