libbpf: Apply map_set_def_max_entries() for inner_maps on creation
[ Upstream commit f04deb90e516e8e48bf8693397529bc942a9e80b ]
This patch allows to auto create BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS and
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS with values of BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY
by bpf_object__load().
Previous behaviour created a zero filled btf_map_def for inner maps and
tried to use it for a map creation but the linux kernel forbids to create
a BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY map with max_entries=0.
Fixes: 646f02ffdd49 ("libbpf: Add BTF-defined map-in-map support")
