<title>bpf: Add syscall lookup support for fd array and htab</title>

This patch allows userspace to do BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM on
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY,
BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS and
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS.

The lookup returns a prog-id or map-id to the userspace.
The userspace can then use the BPF_PROG_GET_FD_BY_ID
or BPF_MAP_GET_FD_BY_ID to get a fd.

<title>bpf: Add array of maps support</title>

This patch adds a few helper funcs to enable map-in-map
support (i.e. outer_map-&gt;inner_map).  The first outer_map type
BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS is also added in this patch.
The next patch will introduce a hash of maps type.

Any bpf map type can be acted as an inner_map.  The exception
is BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY because the extra level of
indirection makes it harder to verify the owner_prog_type
and owner_jited.

Multi-level map-in-map is not supported (i.e. map-&gt;map is ok
but not map-&gt;map-&gt;map).

When adding an inner_map to an outer_map, it currently checks the
map_type, key_size, value_size, map_flags, max_entries and ops.
The verifier also uses those map's properties to do static analysis.
map_flags is needed because we need to ensure BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
is using a preallocated hashtab for the inner_hash also.  ops and
max_entries are needed to generate inlined map-lookup instructions.
For simplicity reason, a simple '==' test is used for both map_flags
and max_entries.  The equality of ops is implied by the equality of
map_type.

During outer_map creation time, an inner_map_fd is needed to create an
outer_map.  However, the inner_map_fd's life time does not depend on the
outer_map.  The inner_map_fd is merely used to initialize
the inner_map_meta of the outer_map.

Also, for the outer_map:

* It allows element update and delete from syscall
* It allows element lookup from bpf_prog

The above is similar to the current fd_array pattern.
