The commit message and Fixes tag are not 100% accurate, this message existed
before:
https://github.com/DPDK/dpdk/blob/09e4f37ddd0f7d5cc7c696741f31f1582c73a716/lib/bpf/bpf_load_elf.c#L331-L333
(In fact I tried to eliminate it, but had to but back at the insistence of AI
reviewer
and even broke the build in the process...)
So naturally I support downgrading this message. With the commit message
corrected,
