So, if you do this, then this breaks the assumption of eBPF JITs
that, currently, all classic converted BPF programs always have a
prog->type of BPF_PROG_TYPE_UNSPEC (see: bpf_prog_was_classic()).

Currently, JITs make use of this information to determine whether
A and X mappings for such programs should or should not be cleared
in the prologue (s390 currently).

In the seccomp_prepare_filter() stage, we're already past that, so
it will not cause an issue, but we certainly would need to be very
careful in future, if bpf_prog_was_classic() is then used at a later
stage when we already have a generated bpf_prog somewhere, as then
this assumption will break.
