Ubuntu reports incorrect kernel version through uname(), which on older kernels leads to kprobe BPF programs failing to load due to the version check mismatch. Accommodate Ubuntu's quirks with LINUX_VERSION_CODE by using Ubuntu-specific /proc/version_code to fetch major/minor/patch versions to form LINUX_VERSION_CODE. While at it, consolide libbpf's kernel version detection code between libbpf.c and libbpf_probes.c.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
