This macro can be used in other samples such as the 4th' patch of this
patchset, task_fd_query.

Actually, read_trace_pipe and read_trace_pipe2 are helpers that are

in selftests, What do you think about moving these helpers to
something like samples/bpf/trace_pipe.h?

Thanks for your time and effort for the review.
