[RFC PATCH v6 16/32] bpf tools: Relocate eBPF programs

[Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>]

If an eBPF program accesses a map, LLVM generates a load instruction
which loads an absolute address into a register, like this:

  ld_64   r1, <MCOperand Expr:(mymap)>
  ...
  call    2

That ld_64 instruction will be recorded in relocation section.
To enable the usage of that map, relocation must be done by replacing
the immediate value by real map file descriptor so it can be found by
eBPF map functions.

This patch to the relocation work based on information collected by
patch 'bpf tools: Collect relocation sections from SHT_REL sections'.
For each instruction which needs relocation, it inject corresponding
file descriptor to imm field. As a part of protocol, src_reg is set to
BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD to notify kernel this is a map loading instruction.
