Add kernel module with user mode driver that populates bpffs with
BPF iterators.

$ mount bpffs /my/bpffs/ -t bpf
$ ls -la /my/bpffs/
total 4
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root    0 Jul  2 00:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Jul  2 00:09 ..
-rw-------  1 root root    0 Jul  2 00:27 maps.debug
-rw-------  1 root root    0 Jul  2 00:27 progs.debug

The user mode driver will load BPF Type Formats, create BPF maps, populate BPF
maps, load two BPF programs, attach them to BPF iterators, and finally send two
bpf_link IDs back to the kernel.
The kernel will pin two bpf_links into newly mounted bpffs instance under
names "progs.debug" and "maps.debug". These two files become human readable.

$ cat /my/bpffs/progs.debug
   id name            attached
   11 dump_bpf_map    bpf_iter_bpf_map
   12 dump_bpf_prog   bpf_iter_bpf_prog
   27 test_pkt_access
   32 test_main       test_pkt_access test_pkt_access
   33 test_subprog1   test_pkt_access_subprog1 test_pkt_access
   34 test_subprog2   test_pkt_access_subprog2 test_pkt_access
   35 test_subprog3   test_pkt_access_subprog3 test_pkt_access
   36 new_get_skb_len get_skb_len test_pkt_access
   37 new_get_skb_ifindex get_skb_ifindex test_pkt_access
   38 new_get_constant get_constant test_pkt_access

The BPF program dump_bpf_prog() in iterators.bpf.c is printing this data about
all BPF programs currently loaded in the system. This information is unstable
and will change from kernel to kernel as ".debug" suffix conveys.

Looks like this needs one last respin, but either way the module handling looks much
cleaner now, Ack.

Thanks,
Daniel
