libbpf: Fix reuse of pinned map on older kernel
When loading a BPF program with a pinned map, the loader checks whether the pinned map can be reused, i.e. their properties match. To derive such of the pinned map, the loader invokes BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD and then does the comparison. Unfortunately, on < 4.12 kernels the BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD is not available, so loading the program fails with the following error: libbpf: failed to get map info for map FD 5: Invalid argument libbpf: couldn't reuse pinned map at '/sys/fs/bpf/tc/globals/cilium_call_policy': parameter mismatch" libbpf: map 'cilium_call_policy': error reusing pinned map libbpf: map 'cilium_call_policy': failed to create: Invalid argument(-22) libbpf: failed to load object 'bpf_overlay.o' To fix this, fallback to derivation of the map properties via /proc/$PID/fdinfo/$MAP_FD if BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD fails with EINVAL, which can be used as an indicator that the kernel doesn't support the latter.
