bpf: Allow bpf sample programs (*_user.c) to change bpf_map_def
The current bpf_map_def is statically defined during compile time. This patch allows the *_user.c program to change it during runtime. It is done by adding load_bpf_file_fixup_map() which takes a callback. The callback will be called before creating each map so that it has a chance to modify the bpf_map_def. The current usecase is to change max_entries in map_perf_test. It is interesting to test with a much bigger map size in some cases (e.g. the following patch on bpf_lru_map.c). However, it is hard to find one size to fit all testing environment. Hence, it is handy to take the max_entries as a cmdline arg and then configure the bpf_map_def during runtime. This patch adds two cmdline args. One is to configure the map's max_entries. Another is to configure the max_cnt which controls how many times a syscall is called.
