Subject: [PATCH net-next] libbpf: use map_flags when creating maps

From: Craig Gallek <kraig@...gle.com>

This extends struct bpf_map_def to include a flags field.  Note that
this has the potential to break the validation logic in
bpf_object__validate_maps and bpf_object__init_maps as they use
sizeof(struct bpf_map_def) as a minimal allowable size of a map section.
Any bpf program compiled with a smaller struct bpf_map_def will fail this
check.

I don't believe this will be an issue in practice as both compile-time
definitions of struct bpf_map_def (in samples/bpf/bpf_load.h and
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_helpers.h) have always been larger
than this newly updated version in libbpf.h.
