please use your complete and capitalized name in Signed-off-by

Overall, looks good, I have a few stylistical nits, see below. But
also you forgot to cc bpf@...r.kernel.org, please send v2 and don't
forget to add mailing list. Without that our CI can't test your patch
properly.

nit: __u32 len = sizeof(info), name_len;

nit, unnecessary () around BPF_OBJ_NAME_LEN, plus the order is a bit
weird. I also have general preference with strncmp/strcmp to compare
against zero explicitly, so can you rewrite this as:

if (name_len == BPF_OBJ_NAME_LEN - 1 && strncmp(map->name, info.name,
name_len) == 0)

?
