bpf_link__pin() would fail with -EINVAL when using tracepoints, kprobes, or
uprobes. The failure would happen inside the kernel, in bpf_link_get_from_fd()
right here:
if (f.file->f_op != &bpf_link_fops) {
fdput(f);
return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
}
Since bpf wasn't looking for the perf event fd, I swapped it for the program fd
and bpf_link__pin() worked.
