So I converted the above to:

struct bpf_program *prog;

bpf_object__for_each_program(prog, trace.skel->obj) {
if (prog != trace.skel->progs.sys_enter && prog != trace.skel->progs.sys_exit)
bpf_program__set_autoattach(prog, /*autoattach=*/false);
}

So that we don't have to add new lines disabling attachment when adding
support for other pointer receiving syscalls.
