Please don't use '__' style API here. It is easily be confused with
bpf_map__*() in libbpf.h. They are APIs at different level.

bpf_map__*() are APIs for 'struct bpf_map's, they are object introduced
by libbpf, defined in libbpf.h. bpf_map_*() APIs operate on fd, they are
objects defined by kernel. bpf_map_*() APIs are declared in bpf.h.

In libbpf, bpf.h directly operates on kernel objects (fd), APIs in it
are named bpf_map_*(); libbpf.h operates on 'struct bpf_map' object,
APIs in it are named using bpf_map__*(). libbpf.h and bpf.h are independent
with each other.

As what we have discussed, the newly introduced functions should be added
in bpf.h.

Thank you.
