v4 uses nr_hash_funcs is 0 (i.e. map_extra is 0) to mean bitset
and non-zero to mean bloom filter.

Since the existing no-key API can be reused and work fine with bloom
filter, my current thinking is it can start with bloom filter first
and limit the nr_hash_funcs to be non-zero.

If in the future a bitset map is needed and the bloom filter API can
be reused, the non-zero check can be relaxed.  If not, a separate
API/map needs to be created for bitset anyway.
