Sure, I can drop it from v3 and make this function appear for HID only.

Regarding BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT, it was already in both
is_net_admin_prog_type() and is_perfmon_prog_type(), so I duplicated
it here, but I agree, given that it's already in the first function
there, CPA_SYS_ADMIN is already checked.
