Print the PCI device syspath to a vfio device's fdinfo. This enables tools
to query which device is associated with a given vfio device fd.

This results in output like below:

$ cat /proc/"$SOME_PID"/fdinfo/"$VFIO_FD" | grep vfio
vfio-device-syspath: /sys/devices/pci0000:e0/0000:e0:01.1/0000:e1:00.0/0000:e2:05.0/0000:e8:00.0

I tested this patch on a POWER9 bare metal system with a VFIO PCI device and
could see the VFIO device syspath in fdinfo.

 Without this patch:
 -------------------

    [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/7059/fdinfo/188
    pos:    0
    flags:  02000002
    mnt_id: 17
    ino:    1113

 With this patch:
 ----------------
    [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/7722/fdinfo/188
    pos:    0
    flags:  02000002
    mnt_id: 17
    ino:    2145
    vfio-device-syspath: /sys/devices/pci0031:00/0031:00:00.0/0031:01:00.0

..., and the code changes LGTM. Hence,
Additionally, I got a chance to test this patch on a pSeries POWER10 logical
partition (L1) running a KVM guest (L2) with a PCI device passthrough and I see
the expected results:

  [root@guest ~]# lscpu

  pos:    0

  mnt_id: 17
  ino:    160
  vfio-device-syspath: /sys/devices/pci0182:70/0182:70:00.0

The L1 was booted with latest upstream kernel (HEAD: 53e760d89498) with the
patch applied and the L2 was booted on distro QEMU (version 10.0.2) and as well
as on latest upstream QEMU (HEAD: 5836af078321, version 10.0.93).

Thanks,
Amit

Changes in v4:
- Remove changes to vfio.h
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250801-show-fdinfo-v3-1-165dfcab89b9@fb.com (local)
Changes in v3:
- Remove changes to vfio_pci.c
- Add section to Documentation/filesystems/proc.rst
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250724-show-fdinfo-v2-1-2952115edc10@fb.com (local)
Changes in v2:
- Instead of PCI bdf, print the fully-qualified syspath (prefixed by
  /sys) to fdinfo.
- Rename the field to "vfio-device-syspath". The term "syspath" was
  chosen for consistency e.g. libudev's usage of the term.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250623-vfio-fdinfo-v1-1-c9cec65a2922@fb.com (local)
