Yafang Shao 1e9d74660d bpf: Fix mount source show for bpffs 
We noticed our tc ebpf tools can't start after we upgrade our in-house kernel
version from 4.19 to 5.10. That is because of the behaviour change in bpffs
caused by commit d2935de7e4 ("vfs: Convert bpf to use the new mount API").

In our tc ebpf tools, we do strict environment check. If the environment is
not matched, we won't allow to start the ebpf progs. One of the check is whether
bpffs is properly mounted. The mount information of bpffs in kernel-4.19 and
kernel-5.10 are as follows:

- kernel 4.19
$ mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf
$ mount -t bpf
bpffs on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,relatime)

- kernel 5.10
$ mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf
$ mount -t bpf
none on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,relatime)

The device name in kernel-5.10 is displayed as none instead of bpffs, then our
environment check fails. Currently we modify the tools to adopt to the kernel
behaviour change, but I think we'd better change the kernel code to keep the
behavior consistent.

After this change, the mount information will be displayed the same with the
behavior in kernel-4.19, for example:

$ mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf
$ mount -t bpf
bpffs on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,relatime)

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
