bpftool: Mount bpffs on provided dir instead of parent dir
[ Upstream commit 478a535ae54ad3831371904d93b5dfc403222e17 ]
When pinning programs/objects under PATH (eg: during "bpftool prog
loadall") the bpffs is mounted on the parent dir of PATH in the
following situations:
- the given dir exists but it is not bpffs.
- the given dir doesn't exist and the parent dir is not bpffs.
Mounting on the parent dir can also have the unintentional side-
effect of hiding other files located under the parent dir.
If the given dir exists but is not bpffs, then the bpffs should
be mounted on the given dir and not its parent dir.
Similarly, if the given dir doesn't exist and its parent dir is not
bpffs, then the given dir should be created and the bpffs should be
mounted on this new dir.
Fixes: 2a36c26fe3b8 ("bpftool: Support bpffs mountpoint as pin path for prog loadall")

Closes: https://github.com/libbpf/bpftool/issues/100
Changes since v1:
- Split "mount_bpffs_for_pin" into two functions.
This is done to improve maintainability and readability.
Changes since v2:
- mount_bpffs_for_pin: rename to "create_and_mount_bpffs_dir".
- mount_bpffs_given_file: rename to "mount_bpffs_given_file".
- create_and_mount_bpffs_dir:
- introduce "dir_exists" boolean.
- remove new dir if "mnt_fs" fails.
- improve error handling and error messages.
Changes since v3:
- Rectify function name.
- Improve error messages and formatting.
- mount_bpffs_for_file:
- Check if dir exists before block_mount check.
Changes since v4:
- Use strdup instead of strcpy.
- create_and_mount_bpffs_dir:
- Use S_IRWXU instead of 0700.
- Improve error handling and formatting.
