Merge branch 'bpf_iter-uapi-fix'

Yonghong Song says:

====================
Andrii raised a concern that current uapi for bpf iterator map
element is a little restrictive and not suitable for future potential
complex customization. This is a valid suggestion, considering people
may indeed add more complex custimization to the iterator, e.g.,
cgroup_id + user_id, etc. for task or task_file. Another example might
be map_id plus additional control so that the bpf iterator may bail
out a bucket earlier if a bucket has too many elements which may hold
lock too long and impact other parts of systems.

Patch #1 modified uapi with kernel changes. Patch #2
adjusted libbpf api accordingly.

Changelogs:
  v3 -> v4:
    . add a forward declaration of bpf_iter_link_info in
      tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h in case that libbpf is built against
      not-latest uapi bpf.h.
    . target the patch set to "bpf" instead of "bpf-next"
  v2 -> v3:
    . undo "not reject iter_info.map.map_fd == 0" from v1.
      In the future map_fd may become optional, so let us use map_fd == 0
      indicating the map_fd is not set by user space.
    . add link_info_len to bpf_iter_attach_opts to ensure always correct
      link_info_len from user. Otherwise, libbpf may deduce incorrect
      link_info_len if it uses different uapi header than the user app.
  v1 -> v2:
    . ensure link_create target_fd/flags == 0 since they are not used. (Andrii)
    . if either of iter_info ptr == 0 or iter_info_len == 0, but not both,
      return error to user space. (Andrii)
    . do not reject iter_info.map.map_fd == 0, go ahead to use it trying to
      get a map reference since the map_fd is required for map_elem iterator.
    . use bpf_iter_link_info in bpf_iter_attach_opts instead of map_fd.
      this way, user space is responsible to set up bpf_iter_link_info and
      libbpf just passes the data to the kernel, simplifying libbpf design.
