bpf: udp: Implement batching for sockets iterator

Browse source

Batch UDP sockets from BPF iterator that allows for overlapping locking
semantics in BPF/kernel helpers executed in BPF programs.  This facilitates
BPF socket destroy kfunc (introduced by follow-up patches) to execute from
BPF iterator programs.

Previously, BPF iterators acquired the sock lock and sockets hash table
bucket lock while executing BPF programs. This prevented BPF helpers that
again acquire these locks to be executed from BPF iterators.  With the
batching approach, we acquire a bucket lock, batch all the bucket sockets,
and then release the bucket lock. This enables BPF or kernel helpers to
skip sock locking when invoked in the supported BPF contexts.

The batching logic is similar to the logic implemented in TCP iterator:
