bpf: Change uapi for bpf iterator map elements

Commit a5cbe05a ("bpf: Implement bpf iterator for
map elements") added bpf iterator support for
map elements. The map element bpf iterator requires
info to identify a particular map. In the above
commit, the attr->link_create.target_fd is used
to carry map_fd and an enum bpf_iter_link_info
is added to uapi to specify the target_fd actually
representing a map_fd:
    enum bpf_iter_link_info {
	BPF_ITER_LINK_UNSPEC = 0,
	BPF_ITER_LINK_MAP_FD = 1,

	MAX_BPF_ITER_LINK_INFO,
    };

This is an extensible approach as we can grow
enumerator for pid, cgroup_id, etc. and we can
unionize target_fd for pid, cgroup_id, etc.
But in the future, there are chances that
more complex customization may happen, e.g.,
for tasks, it could be filtered based on
both cgroup_id and user_id.

This patch changed the uapi to have fields
	__aligned_u64	iter_info;
	__u32		iter_info_len;
for additional iter_info for link_create.
The iter_info is defined as
	union bpf_iter_link_info {
		struct {
			__u32   map_fd;
		} map;
	};

So future extension for additional customization
will be easier. The bpf_iter_link_info will be
passed to target callback to validate and generic
bpf_iter framework does not need to deal it any
more.

Note that map_fd = 0 will be considered invalid
and -EBADF will be returned to user space.

Fixes: a5cbe05a
