The bpf_program__title function got deprecated in libbpf,
use the suggested alternative.

Fixes: 521095842027 ("libbpf: Deprecate notion of BPF program "title" in favor of "section name"")

Arnaldo,
the commit in 'Fixes' is not yet in your tree yet and the patch
below will make the perf compilation fail in your perf/core..

it fixes perf compilation on top of bpf-next tree.. so I think it
should go in through bpf-next tree

thanks,
jirka

I think bpf_program__title at line 457 in preproc_gen_prologue also needs to be
changed given the following build failure:

hum, that's where the 2nd hunk, right? I dont see any other instance
of bpf_program__title after the patch is applied

Sorry for the noise, I didn't read the patch correctly. You're of course
correct. I was confused because it is still assigned to variable
`title`.
