Merge branch 'queue_stack_maps'
Mauricio Vasquez says: ==================== In some applications this is needed have a pool of free elements, for example the list of free L4 ports in a SNAT. None of the current maps allow to do it as it is not possible to get any element without having they key it is associated to, even if it were possible, the lack of locking mecanishms in eBPF would do it almost impossible to be implemented without data races. This patchset implements two new kind of eBPF maps: queue and stack. Those maps provide to eBPF programs the peek, push and pop operations, and for userspace applications a new bpf_map_lookup_and_delete_elem() is added.
