bpf: add lookup/update/delete/iterate methods to BPF maps

Browse Source 
'maps' is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between kernel
and userspace.

The maps are accessed from user space via BPF syscall, which has commands:

- create a map with given type and attributes
  fd = bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
  returns fd or negative error

- lookup key in a given map referenced by fd
  err = bpf(BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
  using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->value
  returns zero and stores found elem into value or negative error

- create or update key/value pair in a given map
  err = bpf(BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
  using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->value
  returns zero or negative error

- find and delete element by key in a given map
  err = bpf(BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
  using attr->map_fd, attr->key

- iterate map elements (based on input key return next_key)
  err = bpf(BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
  using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->next_key

- close(fd) deletes the map
