Ok. Wasn't sure if this is the assumption being made.

Thanks for the suggestion. Denylist is a bit too broad in this case as
it means we'll be disabling the whole libbpf_probe_prog_types test while
only a single type is a problem. Looks like we'll have to live with a
downstream-only patch in this case.
