Merge branch 'bpf-romap-known-scalars'

Andrii Nakryiko says:

====================
With BPF maps supporting direct map access (currently, array_map w/ single
element, used for global data) that are read-only both from system call and
BPF side, it's possible for BPF verifier to track its contents as known
constants.

Now it's possible for user-space control app to pre-initialize read-only map
(e.g., for .rodata section) with user-provided flags and parameters and rely
on BPF verifier to detect and eliminate dead code resulting from specific
combination of input parameters.

v1->v2:
- BPF_F_RDONLY means nothing, stick to just map->frozen (Daniel);
- stick to passing just offset into map_direct_value_addr (Martin).
