bpf: introduce BPF syscall and maps

Browse source 
BPF syscall is a multiplexor for a range of different operations on eBPF.
This patch introduces syscall with single command to create a map.
Next patch adds commands to access maps.

'maps' is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between kernel
and userspace.

Userspace example:
/* this syscall wrapper creates a map with given type and attributes
 * and returns map_fd on success.
 * use close(map_fd) to delete the map
 */
int bpf_create_map(enum bpf_map_type map_type, int key_size,
                   int value_size, int max_entries)
{
    union bpf_attr attr = {
        .map_type = map_type,
        .key_size = key_size,
        .value_size = value_size,
        .max_entries = max_entries
    };

    return bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}

'union bpf_attr' is backwards compatible with future extensions.

More details in Documentation/networking/filter.txt and in manpage
