Only one of the examples declare the bpf_insn bpf proggie as a const:
$ grep 'struct bpf_insn [a-z]' samples/bpf/*.c
samples/bpf/fds_example.c: static const struct bpf_insn insns[] = {
samples/bpf/sock_example.c: struct bpf_insn prog[] = {
samples/bpf/test_cgrp2_attach2.c: struct bpf_insn prog[] = {
samples/bpf/test_cgrp2_attach.c: struct bpf_insn prog[] = {
samples/bpf/test_cgrp2_sock.c: struct bpf_insn prog[] = {
$
Which causes this warning:

So just ditch that 'const' to reduce build noise, leaving changing the
bpf_load_program() bpf_insn parameter to const to a later patch, if deemed
adequate.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
