TL;DR: Commit message nit only: subject and body call the new helper
__bpf_sys_fd, but the code names it __sys_bpf_fd. Should the message match?

This isn't a bug, but the subject and body name the helper __bpf_sys_fd,
while the function the patch adds is:

+static int __sys_bpf_fd(union bpf_attr *attr, const size_t attr_sz, enum bpf_cmd cmd,
+ struct bpf_log_opts *log_opts)

which follows the existing sys_bpf(), sys_bpf_fd() and sys_bpf_ext_fd()
naming.

Should the subject and body say __sys_bpf_fd instead, so that searching the
log for the real function name finds this commit?
