samples/bpf: Be consistent with bpf_load_program bpf_insn parameter

Only one of the examples declare the bpf_insn bpf proggie as a const:

  $ grep 'struct bpf_insn [a-z]' samples/bpf/*.c
  samples/bpf/fds_example.c:	static const struct bpf_insn insns[] = {
  samples/bpf/sock_example.c:	struct bpf_insn prog[] = {
  samples/bpf/test_cgrp2_attach2.c:	struct bpf_insn prog[] = {
  samples/bpf/test_cgrp2_attach.c:	struct bpf_insn prog[] = {
  samples/bpf/test_cgrp2_sock.c:	struct bpf_insn prog[] = {
  $

Which causes this warning:

  [root@f5065a7d6272 linux]# make -j4 O=/tmp/build/linux samples/bpf/
  <SNIP>

                   from /git/linux/samples/bpf/fds_example.c:15:
  /git/linux/tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h:31:5: note: expected 'struct bpf_insn *' but argument is of type 'const struct bpf_insn *'
   int bpf_load_program(enum bpf_prog_type type, struct bpf_insn *insns,
       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    HOSTCC  samples/bpf/sockex1_user.o

So just ditch that 'const' to reduce build noise, leaving changing the
bpf_load_program() bpf_insn parameter to const to a later patch, if deemed
adequate.
