bpf: add queue and stack maps

Queue/stack maps implement a FIFO/LIFO data storage for ebpf programs.
These maps support peek, pop and push operations that are exposed to eBPF
programs through the new bpf_map[peek/pop/push] helpers.  Those operations
are exposed to userspace applications through the already existing
syscalls in the following way:

BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM            -> peek
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_ELEM -> pop
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM            -> push

Queue/stack maps are implemented using a buffer, tail and head indexes,
hence BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC is not supported.

As opposite to other maps, queue and stack do not use RCU for protecting
maps values, the bpf_map[peek/pop] have a ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MAP_VALUE
argument that is a pointer to a memory zone where to save the value of a
map.  Basically the same as ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM, but the size has not
be passed as an extra argument.

Our main motivation for implementing queue/stack maps was to keep track
of a pool of elements, like network ports in a SNAT, however we forsee
other use cases, like for exampling saving last N kernel events in a map
and then analysing from userspace.
