samples/bpf: add cpumap sample program xdp_redirect_cpu

This sample program show how to use cpumap and the associated
tracepoints.

It provides command line stats, which shows how the XDP-RX process,
cpumap-enqueue and cpumap kthread dequeue is cooperating on a per CPU
basis.  It also utilize the xdp_exception and xdp_redirect_err
transpoints to allow users quickly to identify setup issues.

One issue with ixgbe driver is that the driver reset the link when
loading XDP.  This reset the procfs smp_affinity settings.  Thus,
after loading the program, these must be reconfigured.  The easiest
workaround it to reduce the RX-queue to e.g. two via:

 # ethtool --set-channels ixgbe1 combined 2

And then add CPUs above 0 and 1, like:

 # xdp_redirect_cpu --dev ixgbe1 --prog 2 --cpu 2 --cpu 3 --cpu 4

Another issue with ixgbe is that the page recycle mechanism is tied to
the RX-ring size.  And the default setting of 512 elements is too
small.  This is the same issue with regular devmap XDP_REDIRECT.
To overcome this I've been using 1024 rx-ring size:

 # ethtool -G ixgbe1 rx 1024 tx 1024

V3:
 - whitespace cleanups
 - bpf tracepoint cannot access top part of struct

V4:
 - report on kthread sched events, according to tracepoint change
 - report average bulk enqueue size

V5:
 - bpf_map_lookup_elem on cpumap not allowed from bpf_prog
   use separate map to mark CPUs not available

V6:
 - correct kthread sched summary output

V7:
 - Added a --stress-mode for concurrently changing underlying cpumap
