The test attached to kernel function __sys_connect(). In net/socket.c, we have
  int __sys_connect(int fd, struct sockaddr __user *uservaddr, int addrlen)
  {
        ......
  }
  ...
  SYSCALL_DEFINE3(connect, int, fd, struct sockaddr __user *, uservaddr,
                  int, addrlen)
  {
        return __sys_connect(fd, uservaddr, addrlen);
  }

The gcc compiler (8.5.0) does not inline __sys_connect() in syscall entry
function. But latest clang trunk did the inlining. So the bpf program
is not triggered.

To make the test more reliable, let us kprobe the syscall entry function
instead. Note that x86_64, arm64 and s390 have syscall wrappers and they have
to be handled specially.

Applied to bpf-next, thanks.
