the true source of libbpf is kernel tree, that's why it
initially landed in kernel-tools with other kernel tree
libraries

however, upstream team decided to keep and maintain GitHub libbpf
sources (which are regirarly sync from kernel tree) to maintain
compatibility in between distributions and mainly to have stable
relases of libbpf based on github tree tags rather then on random
kernel versions (from libbpf point of view)
