just skimming through this, I noticed that we have "enum
bpf_cgroup_iter_order" (good, I like) but BPF_ITER_xxx with no CGROUP
part in it (not good, don't like :). All the enumerator names have
global visibility, so it would probably be best for them to be
CGROUP-specific and roughly match the enum name itself:
BPF_CGROUP_ITER_SELF_ONLY, etc?
