User space needs access to kernel BTF for many modern features of BPF.
Right now each process needs to read the BTF blob either in pieces or
as a whole. Allow mmaping the sysfs file so that processes can directly
access the memory allocated for it in the kernel.

remap_pfn_range is used instead of vm_insert_page due to aarch64
compatibility issues.
