Merge branch 'Parameterize task iterators.'

Kui-Feng Lee says:

====================

Allow creating an iterator that loops through resources of one task/thread.

People could only create iterators to loop through all resources of
files, vma, and tasks in the system, even though they were interested in only the
resources of a specific task or process.  Passing the additional
parameters, people can now create an iterator to go through all
resources or only the resources of a task.

Major Changes:

 - Add new parameters in bpf_iter_link_info to indicate to go through
   all tasks or to go through a specific task.

 - Change the implementations of BPF iterators of vma, files, and
   tasks to allow going through only the resources of a specific task.

 - Provide the arguments of parameterized task iterators in
   bpf_link_info.

Differences from v10:

 - Check pid_alive() to avoid potential errors.

Differences from v9:

  - Fix the boundary check of computing page_shift.

  - Rewording the reason of checking and returning the same task.

Differences from v8:

 - Fix uninitialized variable.

 - Avoid redundant work of getting task from pid.

 - Change format string to use %u instead of %d.

 - Use the value of page_shift to compute correct offset in
   bpf_iter_vm_offset.c.

Differences from v7:

 - Travel the tasks of a process through task_group linked list
   instead of traveling through the whole namespace.

Differences from v6:

 - Add part 5 to make bpftool show the value of parameters.

 - Change of wording of show_fdinfo() to show pid or tid instead of
   always pid.

 - Simplify error handling and naming of test cases.

Differences from v5:

 - Use user-space tid/pid terminologies in bpf_iter_link_info and
   bpf_link_info.

 - Fix reference count

 - Merge all variants to one 'u32 pid' in internal structs.
   (bpf_iter_aux_info and bpf_iter_seq_task_common)

 - Compare the result of get_uprobe_offset() with the implementation
   with the vma iterators.

 - Implement show_fdinfo.

Differences from v4:

 - Remove 'type' from bpf_iter_link_info and bpf_link_info.
