even if meta1 doesn't have BPF_F_INNER_MAP, it's ok, because all the
accesses for map returned from outer map lookup will not inline, is
that right? So this flag only matters for the inner map's prototype.
You also mentioned that not inlining array access should still be
fast. So I wonder, what if we just force non-inlined access for inner
maps of ARRAY type? Would it be too bad of a hit for existing
applications?
The benefit would be that everything would just work without a special
flag. If perf hit isn't prohibitive, it might be worthwhile to
simplify user experience?

should this now check cnt <= 0 instead?
