ci: Run BPF lints on workflow definition changes

[ upstream commit 071c2af ]

In the past, we have merged automated updates to the coccicheck image
version (for example, [0]) without realising they may break the
workflow, because the workflow wouldn't run on the PR, which contained
no BPF-related changes.

Let's make the workflow run when its definition file is updated, to make
sure we can catch similar issues in the future.
