Any reason we're doing allocation here? Why not do
bpf_mprog_init(struct bpf_mprog_bundle *) instead that simply initializes
the fields? Then we can move allocation/free part to the caller (tcx) along
with rcu_head.
Feels like it would be a bit more conventional/readable? bpf_mprog_free{,_rcu}
will also become tcx_free{,_rcu}..

I guess current approach works, but it took me awhile to figure it out..
(maybe it's just me)

I found this approach quite useful for tcx case since we only fetch the
bpf_mprog_entry for tcx_link_prog_attach et al, but I can take a look to
see if this looks better and if it does I'll include it.

Ok, I moved this into tcx and only left bpf_mprog_bundle_init() in mprog.
Looks better indeed, thanks Stan!
