Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 7/9] bpf: Add syscall common attributes support for map_create

Currently, many BPF_MAP_CREATE failures return -EINVAL without providing
any explanation to userspace.

With extended BPF syscall support, detailed error messages can now be
reported via the log buffer, allowing users to understand the specific
reason for a failed map creation.
