Turns out that on some professional distributions, with things partly backported (not sure exactly), loading this kernel bpf program might enter a RCU task deadlock. Given that it actually does not make sense to preload this in every environment, we can lazy load it the first time we need it, i.e. the first time the kfunc hid_bpf_attach_prog() is called.
