bpftool: Add struct_ops support
This patch adds struct_ops support to the bpftool. To recap a bit on the recent bpf_struct_ops feature on the kernel side: It currently supports "struct tcp_congestion_ops" to be implemented in bpf. At a high level, bpf_struct_ops is struct_ops map populated with a number of bpf progs. bpf_struct_ops currently supports the "struct tcp_congestion_ops". However, the bpf_struct_ops design is generic enough that other kernel struct ops can be supported in the future. Although struct_ops is map+progs at a high lever, there are differences in details. For example, 1) After registering a struct_ops, the struct_ops is held by the kernel subsystem (e.g. tcp-cc). Thus, there is no need to pin a struct_ops map or its progs in order to keep them around. 2) To iterate all struct_ops in a system, it iterates all maps in type BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS. BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS is the current usual filter. In the future, it may need to filter by other struct_ops specif...
