  To: bpf; +Cc: andrii, grantseltzer

From: Grant Seltzer <grantseltzer@gmail.com>

This adds documention for:

- bpf_map_delete_batch()
- bpf_map_lookup_batch()
- bpf_map_lookup_and_delete_batch()
- bpf_map_update_batch()

+ * In particular the *flags* field of *bpf_map_batch_opts* can be
+ * one of the following:
+ *
+ * **BPF_ANY**
+ * 	Create new elements or update a existing elements.
+ *
+ * **BPF_NOEXIST**
+ * 	Create new elements only if they do not exist.
+ *
+ * **BPF_EXIST**
+ * 	Update existing elements.
+ *
+ * **BPF_F_LOCK**
+ * 	Update spin_lock-ed map elements. This must be
