[PATCH 2/2] procfs: Add 'path' to /proc/<pid>/fdinfo/

In order to identify the type of memory a process has pinned through
its open fds, add the file path to fdinfo output. This allows
identifying memory types based on common prefixes. e.g. "/memfd...",
"/dmabuf...", "/dev/ashmem...".

Access to /proc/<pid>/fdinfo is governed by PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS
the same as /proc/<pid>/maps which also exposes the file path of
mappings; so the security permissions for accessing path is consistent
with that of /proc/<pid>/maps.

Changes from rfc:
  - Split adding 'size' and 'path' into a separate patches, per Christian
  - Fix indentation (use tabs) in documentaion, per Randy

 This file provides information associated with an opened file. The regular

 The 'pos' represents the current offset of the opened file in decimal

 file has been created with [see open(2) for details] and 'mnt_id' represents
 mount ID of the file system containing the opened file [see 3.5
 /proc/<pid>/mountinfo for details]. 'ino' represents the inode number of
