As discussed in [0], stop emitting static variables in BPF skeletons to avoid
issues with name-conflicting static variables across multiple
statically-linked BPF object files.
Users using static variables to pass data between BPF programs and user-space
should do a trivial one-time switch according to the following simple rules:
- read-only `static volatile const` variables should be converted to
`volatile const`;
- read/write `static volatile` variables should just drop `static volatile`
modifiers to become global variables/symbols. To better handle older Clang
versions, such newly converted global variables should be explicitly
initialized with a specific value or `= 0`/`= {}`, whichever is
appropriate.
