Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2] libbpf: Add getter for pointer to data area for internal maps

For internal maps (most notably the maps backing global variables), libbpf
uses an internal mmaped area to store the data after opening the object.
This data is subsequently copied into the kernel map when the object is
loaded.

This adds a getter for the pointer to that internal data store. This can be
used to modify the data before it is loaded into the kernel, which is
especially relevant for RODATA, which is frozen on load. This same pointer
is already exposed to the auto-generated skeletons, so access to it is
already API; this just adds a way to get at it without pulling in the full
skeleton infrastructure.

Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@...hat.com>

v2:
  - Add per-map getter for data area instead of a global rodata getter for bpf_obj
