samples/bpf: Be consistent with bpf_load_program bpf_insn parameter

Only one of the examples declare the bpf_insn bpf proggie as a const:

$ grep 'struct bpf_insn [a-z]' samples/bpf/*.c
samples/bpf/fds_example.c: static const struct bpf_insn insns[] = {
samples/bpf/sock_example.c: struct bpf_insn prog[] = {
samples/bpf/test_cgrp2_attach2.c: struct bpf_insn prog[] = {
samples/bpf/test_cgrp2_attach.c: struct bpf_insn prog[] = {
samples/bpf/test_cgrp2_sock.c: struct bpf_insn prog[] = {
$

Which causes this warning:

[root@f5065a7d6272 linux]# make -j4 O=/tmp/build/linux samples/bpf/

/git/linux/samples/bpf/fds_example.c: In function 'bpf_prog_create':

So just ditch that 'const' to reduce build noise, leaving changing the
bpf_load_program() bpf_insn parameter to const to a later patch, if deemed
adequate.
