Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 3/6] libbpf: Ensure that module BTF fd is never 0

Since the code assumes in various places that BTF fd for modules is
never 0, if we end up getting fd as 0, obtain a new fd > 0. Even though
fd 0 being free for allocation is usually an application error, it is
still possible that we end up getting fd 0 if the application explicitly
closes its stdin. Deal with this by getting a new fd using dup and
closing fd 0.
