[ Upstream commit ebc8484d0e6da9e6c9e8cfa1f40bf94e9c6fc512 ]

This cast was made by purpose for older libbpf where the
bpf_object_skeleton field is void * instead of const void *
to eliminate a warning (as i understand
-Wincompatible-pointer-types-discards-qualifiers) but this
cast introduces another warning (-Wcast-qual) for libbpf
where data field is const void *

It makes sense for bpftool to be in sync with libbpf from
kernel sources
