iptables version 1.6.2 uses the BPF_OBJ_GET macro that is only available
since kernel version 4.4. Add a patch fixing the detection of the
feature availability.

+Subject: [PATCH] extensions: libxt_bpf: Fix build with old kernel versions
+
+In kernel 3.18 the union bpf_attr does not have a pathname attribute and
+BPF_OBJ_GET is also not defined in these versions.
+This was added in Linux commit b2197755b263 ("bpf: add support for
+persistent maps/progs"). Check for the BPF_FS_MAGIC define which was
+also added in this Linux commit and only activate this code in case we
+find that define.
+
+This fixes a build problem with Linux 3.18.
+Netfilter bug: #1231
+
+Fixes: f17f9ace8a8 ("extensions: libxt_bpf: support ebpf pinned objects")
