[PATCH bpf-next v4] libbpf: Expose API to consume one ring at a time

[Adam Sindelar <adam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We already provide ring_buffer__epoll_fd to enable use of external
polling systems. However, the only API available to consume the ring
buffer is ring_buffer__consume, which always checks all rings. When
polling for many events, this can be wasteful.

v1->v2: Added entry to libbpf.map
v2->v3: Correctly set errno and handle overflow
v3->v4: Fixed an embarrasing typo from zealous autocomplete
