Why not extending to allow use-case like ...

   return bpf_redirect_map_multi(&fwd_map, NULL, BPF_F_EXCLUDE_INGRESS);

... instead of requiring a dummy/'null' map?

I planed to let user set NULL, but the arg2_type is ARG_CONST_MAP_PTR, which
not allow NULL pointer.

Right, but then why not adding a new type ARG_CONST_MAP_PTR_OR_NULL ?
