I just realized that among my tools that want the path, the input is either:

A) syscall tracepoints: int fd
B) kprobes: struct file *

This serves (A). If we ever add a different helper for (B), we might
think that this helper was misnamed. Should it be called get_fd_path
instead? That leaves get_file_path available for a later "struct file
*" -> pathname helper.
