In some applications this is needed have a pool of free elements, like for
example the list of free L4 ports in a SNAT. None of the current maps allow
to do it as it is not possibleto get an any element without having they key
it is associated to.
This patchset implements two new kind of eBPF maps: queue and stack.
Those maps provide to eBPF programs the peek, push and pop operations, and for
userspace applications a new bpf_map_lookup_and_delete_elem() is added.

v2 -> v3:
- Return elements by value instead that by reference
- Implement queue/stack base on array and head + tail indexes
- Rename stack trace related files to avoid confusion and conflicts
v1 -> v2:
- Create two separate maps instead of single one + flags
- Implement bpf_map_lookup_and_delete syscall
- Support peek operation
- Define replacement policy through flags in the update() method
- Add eBPF side tests

Mauricio Vasquez B (7):
bpf: rename stack trace map
bpf/syscall: allow key to be null in map functions
bpf: add lookup_and_delete map operation
bpf: add bpf queue and stack maps
bpf: restrict use of peek/push/pop
Sync uapi/bpf.h to tools/include
selftests/bpf: add test cases for queue and stack maps
