We don't have PROG_TEST_RUN support for sk_lookup programs at the
moment. So far this hasn't been a problem, since we can run our
tests in a separate network namespace. For benchmarking it's nice
to have PROG_TEST_RUN, so I've gone and implemented it.

Multiple sk_lookup programs can be attached at once to the same
netns. This can't be expressed with the current PROG_TEST_RUN
API, so I'm proposing to extend it with an array of prog_fd.

Patches 1-2 are clean ups. Patches 3-4 add the new UAPI and
implement PROG_TEST_RUN for sk_lookup. Patch 5 adds a new
function to libbpf to access multi prog tests. Patches 6-8 add
tests.

Andrii, for patch 4 I decided on the following API:

     int bpf_prog_test_run_array(__u32 *prog_fds, __u32 prog_fds_cnt,
                                 struct bpf_test_run_opts *opts)

To be consistent with the rest of libbpf it would be better
to take int *prog_fds, but I think then the function would have to
convert the array to account for platforms where

     sizeof(int) != sizeof(__u32)

Curious, is there any supported architecture where this is not the
case? I think it's fine to be consistent, tbh, and use int. Worst
case, in some obscure architecture we'd need to create a copy of an
array. Doesn't seem like a big deal (and highly unlikely anyways).

Given __u32 are kernel UAPI exported types for user space (e.g. used in
syscall APIs), you can check where / how they are defined. Mainly here:

  include/uapi/asm-generic/int-l64.h:27:typedef unsigned int __u32;
  include/uapi/asm-generic/int-ll64.h:27:typedef unsigned int __u32;

Thanks,
Daniel
