In the past the libbpf github actions was tracking the tmp.master (it would
be better to track "next") branch and I was looking at when it passed to
then move "next" to master, that would be great to have so that we
wouldn't be having these bugs in the git history, avoiding force pushes.

Anyhway, thanks for the fix, I'll add it and push it out.
