Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 0/4] libbpf: Support automatic pinning of maps
 using 'pinning' BTF attribute

This series adds support to libbpf for reading 'pinning' settings from BTF-based
map definitions. It introduces a new open option which can set the pinning path;
if no path is set, /sys/fs/bpf is used as the default. Callers can customise the
pinning between open and load by setting the pin path per map, and still get the
automatic reuse feature.

The semantics of the pinning is similar to the iproute2 "PIN_GLOBAL" setting,
and the eventual goal is to move the iproute2 implementation to be based on
libbpf and the functions introduced in this series.

Changelog:

v3:
  - Drop bpf_object__pin_maps_opts() and just use an open option to customise
    the pin path; also don't touch bpf_object__{un,}pin_maps()
  - Integrate pinning and reuse into bpf_object__create_maps() instead of having
    multiple loops though the map structure
  - Make errors in map reuse and pinning fatal to the load procedure
  - Add selftest to exercise pinning feature
  - Rebase series to latest bpf-next

v2:
  - Drop patch that adds mounting of bpffs
  - Only support a single value of the pinning attribute
  - Add patch to fixup error handling in reuse_fd()
  - Implement the full automatic pinning and map reuse logic on load
