tools/bpftool: Fix attaching flow dissector
[ Upstream commit f9b7ff0d7f7a466a920424246e7ddc2b84c87e52 ]
My earlier patch to reject non-zero arguments to flow dissector attach
broke attaching via bpftool. Instead of 0 it uses -1 for target_fd.
Fix this by passing a zero argument when attaching the flow dissector.
