I tested this patch on a POWER9 bare metal system with a VFIO PCI device and
could see the VFIO device syspath in fdinfo.

 Without this patch:
 -------------------

    [root@...alhost ~]# cat /proc/7059/fdinfo/188
    pos:    0
    flags:  02000002
    mnt_id: 17
    ino:    1113

 With this patch:
 ----------------
    [root@...alhost ~]# cat /proc/7722/fdinfo/188
    pos:    0
    flags:  02000002
    mnt_id: 17
    ino:    2145
    vfio-device-syspath: /sys/devices/pci0031:00/0031:00:00.0/0031:01:00.0

..., and the code changes LGTM. Hence,
