This patch set introduced bpf_for_each_map_elem() helper.
The helper permits bpf program iterates through all elements
for a particular map.

The work originally inspired by an internal discussion where
firewall rules are kept in a map and bpf prog wants to
check packet 5 tuples against all rules in the map.
A bounded loop can be used but it has a few drawbacks.
As the loop iteration goes up, verification time goes up too.
For really large maps, verification may fail.
A helper which abstracts out the loop itself will not have
verification time issue.

A recent discussion in [1] involves to iterate all hash map
elements in bpf program. Currently iterating all hashmap elements
in bpf program is not easy if key space is really big.
Having a helper to abstract out the loop itself is even more
meaningful.

The proposed helper signature looks like:
  long bpf_for_each_map_elem(map, callback_fn, callback_ctx, flags)
where callback_fn is a static function and callback_ctx is
a piece of data allocated on the caller stack which can be
accessed by the callback_fn. The callback_fn signature might be
different for different maps. For example, for hash/array maps,
the signature is
  long callback_fn(map, key, val, callback_ctx)

In the rest of series, Patches 1/2/3 did some refactoring. Patch 4
implemented core kernel support for the helper. Patches 5 and 6
added hashmap and arraymap support. Patches 7/8 added libbpf
support. Patch 9 added bpftool support. Patches 10 and 11 added
selftests for hashmap and arraymap.
