I've seen a situation, where a process that's under pprof constantly
generates SIGPROF which prevents program loading indefinitely.
The right thing to do probably is to disable signals in the upper
layers while loading, but it still would be nice to get some error from
libbpf instead of an endless loop.
Let's add some small retry limit to the program loading:
try loading the program 5 (arbitrary) times and give up.
