Hi Stanislav, Joe

I noticed now this patch. I'm doing a broader work to add opts
to bpf_*_get_fd_by_id(). I also adjusted permissions of bpftool
depending on the operation type (e.g. show, dump: BPF_F_RDONLY).

Will send it soon (I'm trying to solve an issue with the CI, where
libbfd is not available in the VM doing actual tests).
