Missing an EXPORT_SYMBOL() to go with this.

I think it's a little sad that we have to essentially re-implement
anon_inode_getfd(). I guess an alternative could be to add an extra
parameter to the existing function, either with a different name and a
wrapper function, or just change all the callers (by my count there are
only 13 call sites outside of BPF). Not sure if that is better, though?

I guess you should also fix __btf_new_fd() in btf.c?
