Subject: [PATCH bpf 1/2] libbpf: Fix type of old_fd in bpf_xdp_set_link_opts

The 'old_fd' parameter used for atomic replacement of XDP programs is
supposed to be an FD, but was left as a u32 from an earlier iteration of
the patch that added it. It was converted to an int when read, so things
worked correctly even with negative values, but better change the
definition to correctly reflect the intention.

Fixes: bd5ca3ef93cd ("libbpf: Add function to set link XDP fd while specifying old program")
