Yonghong Song de4e05cac4 bpf: Support bpf tracing/iter programs for BPF_LINK_CREATE
Given a bpf program, the step to create an anonymous bpf iterator is:
  - create a bpf_iter_link, which combines bpf program and the target.
    In the future, there could be more information recorded in the link.
    A link_fd will be returned to the user space.
  - create an anonymous bpf iterator with the given link_fd.

The bpf_iter_link can be pinned to bpffs mount file system to
create a file based bpf iterator as well.

The benefit to use of bpf_iter_link:
  - using bpf link simplifies design and implementation as bpf link
    is used for other tracing bpf programs.
  - for file based bpf iterator, bpf_iter_link provides a standard
    way to replace underlying bpf programs.
  - for both anonymous and free based iterators, bpf link query
    capability can be leveraged.

The patch added support of tracing/iter programs for BPF_LINK_CREATE.
A new link type BPF_LINK_TYPE_ITER is added to facilitate link
querying. Currently, only prog_id is needed, so there is no
additional in-kernel show_fdinfo() and fill_link_info() hook
is needed for BPF_LINK_TYPE_ITER link.
