[PATCH v2 bpf-next 2/4] libbpf: Add helpers to extract perf fd from bpf_link

[Daniel Xu]

It is sometimes necessary to perform ioctl's on the underlying perf fd.
There is not currently a way to extract the fd given a bpf_link, so add a
a pair of casting and getting helpers.

The casting and getting helpers are nice because they let us define
broad categories of links that makes it clear to users what they can
expect to extract from what type of link.
