Sru justification

[Impact]
Upstream v5.15.139 (#lp2049432) brought commit
 "selftests/bpf: Test tail call counting with bpf2bpf and data on stack"
that affects one of the bpf kselftests. Because LIBBPF_OPTS macro does not
 exist, it does not compile. Error is shown below.

[Fix]
Cherry-pick commit "libbpf: Rename DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS into LIBBPF_OPTS"

[Test]
This should be solved soon, but compileselftests debian rule does not
compile bpf selftests.
I tested it by using our regression testing tooling, but same results can
be achieved by running:
$ make -C linux/tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=bpf SKIP_TARGETS= clean all KDIR=/usr/src/linux-headers-5.15.0-<version>-generic
from the linux tree directory

Without the fix, it fails to compile:
  /root/autotest/client/tmp/ubuntu_bpf/src/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/tailcalls.c: In function ‘test_tailcall_bpf2bpf_6’:

  make: *** [Makefile:172: all] Error 2

With the fix, it compiles.

[Regression potential]
The only place this is being used is selftests, so the risk is very low.
