[PATCH v6 2/8] perf list: Add scandirat compatibility function

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Tue Feb 20 2024 - 22:42:50 EST


scandirat is used during the printing of tracepoint events but may be
missing from certain libcs. Add a compatibility implementation that
uses the symlink of an fd in /proc as a path for the reliably present
scandir.
