Thanks! This one should have been caught by CI :/. Instead it complains
when you add it. This is because BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL in the UAPI
header has a comment next to it, and the regex used in
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_bpftool_synctypes.py to extract the
program types does not account for it. The fix should be:

------
diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_bpftool_synctypes.py
b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_bpftool_synctypes.py
index 6bf21e47882a..cd239cbfd80c 100755

I can submit this separately as a patch.
