So in case get_prog() fails, and for example f.file is infact NULL,
you assign the bpf prog then to ERR_PTR(-EBADF)'s private_data? :(

Any reason why these two need to be exported for modules? Which
modules are using them?

I think modules should probably not mess with this.

If you already name it generic, it would also be good if bpf_new_fd()
is used in case of maps that call anon_inode_getfd(), too.
