typo: coused -> caused, mistmatch -> mismatch

libbpf changes should be based against bpf-next. Indicate that also
with [PATCH bpf-next] subject prefix.

Also, there is no need to have this long "tools: lib: bpf: libbpf:"
prefix, it's not supposed to be a repeat of file path. Use just
"libbpf: " to indicate it's libbpf-related changes.

The fix itself works, thanks!
