tools lib bpf: Add BPF program pinning APIs
Add new APIs to pin a BPF program (or specific instances) to the
filesystem. The user can specify the path full path within a BPF
filesystem to pin the program.
bpf_program__pin_instance(prog, path, n) will pin the nth instance of
'prog' to the specified path.
bpf_program__pin(prog, path) will create the directory 'path' (if it
does not exist) and pin each instance within that directory. For
instance, path/0, path/1, path/2.
Committer notes:
- Add missing headers for mkdir()
- Check strdup() for failure
- Check snprintf >= size, not >, as == also means truncated, see 'man
snprintf', return value.
- Conditionally define BPF_FS_MAGIC, as it isn't in magic.h in older
systems and we're not yet having a tools/include/uapi/linux/magic.h
copy.
- Do not include linux/magic.h, not present in older distros.
