pfsync: Correctly check if bpf peers are present

Description

pfsync: Correctly check if bpf peers are present

On creating the pfsync(4) interface, pfsync_clone_create() does an
unconditional bpfattach(). Use bpf_peers_present() which was introduced
in commit 16d878cc99ef [1] to check the presence of bpf peers.

This will save a little CPU cycles and memory usage when the
synchronisation interface is not configured and there is no bpf peers
present. There should be no functional change.

  1. 16d878cc99ef Fix the following bpf(4) race condition which can result in a panic
