Martynas Pumputis 97eb31384a libbpf: Fix reuse of pinned map on older kernel
When loading a BPF program with a pinned map, the loader checks whether
the pinned map can be reused, i.e. their properties match. To derive
such of the pinned map, the loader invokes BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD and
then does the comparison.

Unfortunately, on < 4.12 kernels the BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD is not
available, so loading the program fails with the following error:

	libbpf: failed to get map info for map FD 5: Invalid argument
	libbpf: couldn't reuse pinned map at
		'/sys/fs/bpf/tc/globals/cilium_call_policy': parameter
		mismatch"
	libbpf: map 'cilium_call_policy': error reusing pinned map
	libbpf: map 'cilium_call_policy': failed to create:
		Invalid argument(-22)
	libbpf: failed to load object 'bpf_overlay.o'

To fix this, fallback to derivation of the map properties via
/proc/$PID/fdinfo/$MAP_FD if BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD fails with EINVAL,
which can be used as an indicator that the kernel doesn't support
the latter.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
