6.1.103 had the regression of bpftool not building, due to a missing
backport:

https://lore.kernel.org/stable/v8lqgl$15bq$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

The problem is that da5f8fd1f0d3 ("bpftool: Mount bpffs when pinmaps
path not under the bpffs") was backported to 6.1.103 but there is no
defintion of create_and_mount_bpffs_dir().

it was suggested to revert the commit completely.

Regards,
Salvatore
