Jesper Dangaard Brouer f9419f7bd7 bpf: cpumap add tracepoints
This adds two tracepoint to the cpumap.  One for the enqueue side
trace_xdp_cpumap_enqueue() and one for the kthread dequeue side
trace_xdp_cpumap_kthread().

To mitigate the tracepoint overhead, these are invoked during the
enqueue/dequeue bulking phases, thus amortizing the cost.

The obvious use-cases are for debugging and monitoring.  The
non-intuitive use-case is using these as a feedback loop to know the
system load.  One can imagine auto-scaling by reducing, adding or
activating more worker CPUs on demand.

V4: tracepoint remove time_limit info, instead add sched info

V8: intro struct bpf_cpu_map_entry members cpu+map_id in this patch
