[bpf-next,0/3] Add O_PATH-based BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET support

Add ability to specify pinning location within BPF FS using O_PATH-based FDs,
similar to openat() family of APIs. Patch #1 adds necessary kernel-side
changes. Patch #2 exposes this through libbpf APIs. Patch #3 uses new mount
APIs (fsopen, fsconfig, fsmount) to demonstrated how now it's possible to work
with detach-mounted BPF FS using new BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET
functionality.

This feature is inspired as a result of recent conversations during
LSF/MM/BPF 2023 conference about shortcomings of being able to perform BPF
objects pinning only using lookup-based paths.

Andrii Nakryiko (3):
  bpf: support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands
  libbpf: add opts-based bpf_obj_pin() API and add support for path_fd
  selftests/bpf: add path_fd-based BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET tests
