Alexei Starovoitov 15a07b3381 bpf: add lookup/update support for per-cpu hash and array maps
The functions bpf_map_lookup_elem(map, key, value) and
bpf_map_update_elem(map, key, value, flags) need to get/set
values from all-cpus for per-cpu hash and array maps,
so that user space can aggregate/update them as necessary.

Example of single counter aggregation in user space:
  unsigned int nr_cpus = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF);
  long values[nr_cpus];
  long value = 0;

  bpf_lookup_elem(fd, key, values);
  for (i = 0; i < nr_cpus; i++)
    value += values[i];

The user space must provide round_up(value_size, 8) * nr_cpus
array to get/set values, since kernel will use 'long' copy
of per-cpu values to try to copy good counters atomically.
It's a best-effort, since bpf programs and user space are racing
to access the same memory.
