[PATCH] tap: check that file is BPF arch before extracting

[Stephen Hemminger]

The script to extract BPF instructions from compiled ELF file
would break if the ELF file was incorrectly built.
Add simple check to give better message.

Fixes: 4e679a5f1212 ("net/tap: add infrastructure to build BPF filter")
