We need to carry a tools/include/uapi/linux/magic.c copy, check if it
drifts, remove the ifdefs for _FS_MAGIC defines from tools/ and use that
instead, etc, till then I'll just add the ifdef to libbpf.c.

[acme@jouet linux]$ grep BPF_FS_MAGIC /usr/include/*/*.h
/usr/include/linux/magic.h:#define BPF_FS_MAGIC 0xcafe4a11
[acme@jouet linux]$ rpm -qf /usr/include/linux/magic.h
kernel-headers-4.9.6-200.fc25.x86_64
[acme@jouet linux]$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five)
[acme@jouet linux]$

But those other distros don't have it.
