Subject: [PATCH net-next 4/7] bpf: fix BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM command return code

fix errno of BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM command as bpf manpage
described it in commit b4fc1a460f30("Merge branch 'bpf-next'"):
-----
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM
    int bpf_lookup_elem(int fd, void *key, void *value)
    {
        union bpf_attr attr = {
            .map_fd = fd,
            .key = ptr_to_u64(key),
            .value = ptr_to_u64(value),
        };

        return bpf(BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM, &attr, sizeof(attr));
    }
    bpf() syscall looks up an element with given key in  a  map  fd.
    If  element  is found it returns zero and stores element's value
    into value.  If element is not found  it  returns  -1  and  sets
    errno to ENOENT.

and further down in manpage:

   ENOENT For BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM or BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM,  indicates  that
          element with given key was not found.
-----

In general all BPF commands return ENOENT when map element is not found
(including BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY and BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM with
 flags == BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ONLY)

Subsequent patch adds a testsuite to check return values for all of
these combinations.

I don't think this patch is needed for 'net', since 'net' has syscall shell
only. Actual map types and their implementations are being introduced by
this set of patches.
