bpf: Extend batch operations for map-in-map bpf-maps

Browse source

This patch extends batch operations support for map-in-map map-types:
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS and BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS

A usecase where outer HASH map holds hundred of VIP entries and its
associated reuse-ports per VIP stored in REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY type
inner map, needs to do batch operation for performance gain.

This patch leverages the exiting generic functions for most of the batch
operations. As map-in-map's value contains the actual reference of the inner map,
for BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS type, it needed an extra step to fetch the
map_id from the reference value.

selftests are added in next patch 2/2.
