samples/bpf: bpf_tail_call example for tracing

kprobe example that demonstrates how future seccomp programs may look like.
It attaches to seccomp_phase1() function and tail-calls other BPF programs
depending on syscall number.

Existing optimized classic BPF seccomp programs generated by Chrome look like:
if (sd.nr < 121) {
  if (sd.nr < 57) {
    if (sd.nr < 22) {
      if (sd.nr < 7) {
        if (sd.nr < 4) {
          if (sd.nr < 1) {
            check sys_read
          } else {
            if (sd.nr < 3) {
              check sys_write and sys_open
            } else {
              check sys_close
            }
          }
        } else {
      } else {
    } else {
  } else {
} else {
}

the future seccomp using native eBPF may look like:
  bpf_tail_call(&sd, &syscall_jmp_table, sd.nr);
which is simpler, faster and leaves more room for per-syscall checks.

Usage:
$ sudo ./tracex5
<...>-366   [001] d...     4.870033: : read(fd=1, buf=00007f6d5bebf000, size=771)
<...>-369   [003] d...     4.870066:...
