[PATCH 0/2] xt_bpf: fix handling of pinned objects

[Rafael Buchbinder <shmulik@nsof.io>]

Following set of commits fixes xt_bpf extension to correctly handle
pinned eBPF programs.

The origin of the bug lies in the fact that xt_bpf_info_v1 structure
requires an open file descriptor to create an eBPF match. 
This file descriptor is checked on every replace. However, as this file
descriptor is valid only for the iptables invocation which loads the
eBPF for the first time, all subsequent iptables invocations fail in
bpf_mt_check (kernel) function.

See discussion in [1] for more details.

The following patches add a hook in extensions which is called
immediately after TC_INIT to fixup whatever needs to be fixed up.
In case of xt_bpf, the fixup function gets the eBPF object by path to
populate xt_bpf_info_v1 structure with a valid file descriptor.
