This patch adds a new bpf helper bpf_get_ino_from_cgroup_id, so that
we can get the inode number once we know the cgroup id.
Cgroup_id is used to identify a cgroup in BPF prog. However we can't
get the cgroup id directly in userspace applications. In userspace,
we are used to identifying cgroups by their paths or their inodes.
However, cgroup id is not always equal to the inode number, depending
on the sizeof ino_t.
For example, given some cgroup paths, we only care about the events
related to those cgroups. We can only do this by updating these paths
in a map and doing string comparison in BPF prog, which is not very
convenient. However with this new helper, we just need to record
the inode in a map and lookup a inode number in BPF prog.
