[PATCH v3 1/4] bpf: Define new BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF map type

[David Vernet <void@manifault.com>]

We want to support a ringbuf map type where samples are published from
user-space, to be consumed by BPF programs. BPF currently supports a kernel
-> user-space circular ringbuffer via the BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF map type.
We'll need to define a new map type for user-space -> kernel, as none of
the helpers exported for BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF will apply to a user-space
producer ringbuffer, and we'll want to add one or more helper functions
that would not apply for a kernel-producer ringbuffer.

This patch therefore adds a new BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF map type
definition. The map type is useless in its current form, as there is no way
to access or use it for anything until we one or more BPF helpers. A
follow-on patch will therefore add a new helper function that allows BPF
programs to run callbacks on samples that are published to the ringbuffer.
