Subject: [PATCH 01/18] bpf: Export bpf_link_inc()

In the upcoming patches, populate_bpffs() will not have visibility anymore
on the links and maps to be pinned (to avoid the limitation of the 'objs'
fixed-size array), but the eBPF-program-specific preload method will
directly do the pinning and increase/decrease the reference count.

Since the preload method can be implemented in a kernel module, also
bpf_link_inc(), before called by populate_bpffs(), should be exported.
Thus, export bpf_link_inc().
