SG!

Yeah, my concern is also mostly about readability/consistency. Either
__cgroup_bpf_prog_array_is_empty everywhere or this new
CGROUP_BPF_TYPE_ENABLED everywhere. I'm slightly leaning towards
__cgroup_bpf_prog_array_is_empty because I don't believe direct
function calls add any visible overhead and macros are ugly :-) But
either way is fine as long as it looks consistent.
