Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] devmap: Allow map lookups from eBPF

We don't currently allow lookups into a devmap from eBPF, because the map
lookup returns a pointer directly to the dev->ifindex, which shouldn't be
modifiable from eBPF.

However, being able to do lookups in devmaps is useful to know (e.g.)
whether forwarding to a specific interface is enabled. Currently, programs
work around this by keeping a shadow map of another type which indicates
whether a map index is valid.

To allow lookups, simply copy the ifindex into a scratch variable and
return a pointer to this. If an eBPF program does modify it, this doesn't
matter since it will be overridden on the next lookup anyway. While this
does add a write to every lookup, the overhead of this is negligible
because the cache line is hot when both the write and the subsequent read
happens.
