Minor suggestion: since this is sample code, I'd always print the bpf
log after this this printf() error message:

printf("%s", bpf_log_buf);

Which has helped me debug my eBPF programs, as will be the case for
anyone hacking on the examples. Or have a function for logdie(), if
the log buffer may be populated with useful messages from other error
paths as well.
