[ Upstream commit ad57654053805bf9a62602aaec74cc78edb6f235 ]

Android implementation of libc errors out with -EINVAL in faccessat() if
passed AT_EACCESS ([0]), this leads to ridiculous issue with libbpf
refusing to load /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux on Androids ([1]). Fix by
detecting Android and redefining AT_EACCESS to 0, it's equivalent on
Android.
