This is leaking the netns path ref here, you're missing a path_put().

The feature looks very useful, thanks! But more on a higher level, the assumption
that netns_dev is and will remain a constant is a bit troublesome to me. As soon
as this assumption changes at some point, this ctx uapi restriction will give us
a potentially hard time to fix up at runtime. It basically would mean that all this
needs to be correctly resolved via BPF asm ctx rewrite at program /runtime/ as
opposed to load time.

Imho, it would be more future proof to design this as a helper function which would
pass dev and ino back to the program when passed as args plus perhaps a bitmask
which can select to fill in one of them or both (but that's an implementation detail).
Issue I'd see here is that __ns_get_path() can be quite expensive and potentially
sleep, but perhaps ns->stashed could be filled / cached such that we'll always hit
fast-path at BPF runtime? (Anyway, as a helper, this should also be enabled for other
program types.)
