Hi,

This patchset tries to optimize ebpf hash map, and follows
the idea:

        Both htab_map_update_elem() and htab_map_delete_elem()
        can be called from eBPF program, and they may be in kernel
        hot path, it isn't efficient to use a per-hashtable lock
        in this two helpers, so this patch converts the lock into
        per-bucket spinlock.

With this patchset, looks the performance penalty from eBPF
decreased a lot, see the following test:

        1) run 'tools/biolatency' of bcc before running block test;

        2) run fio to test block throught over /dev/nullb0,
        (randread, 16jobs, libaio, 4k bs) and the test box
        is one 24cores(dual sockets) VM server:
        - without patchset:  607K IOPS
        - with this patchset: 1184K IOPS
        - without running eBPF prog: 1492K IOPS

TODO:
        - remove the per-hashtable atomic counter

V1:
        - fix the wrong 3/3 patch
