So I know this is derived from /proc/kallsyms, but for BPF iterators
we have a singular name convention (e.g., iter/task and
iter/task_vma), which makes sense because we call BPF program for each
individual item. So here it seems like "iter/ksym" would make good
sense?

nit: can we call this field just "ksym"?

stupid question, but what does "_s_" part stand for? Is it for "sym"?
If yes, maybe then "bpf_iter_ksym_seq_show"?

Is there any reason to depend on CONFIG_PROC_FS for BPF iterator?
Seems like kernel/kallsyms.c itself is only depending on
CONFIG_KALLSYMS? So why adding unnecessary dependency?
