bpf: Create anonymous bpf iterator

A new bpf command BPF_ITER_CREATE is added.

The anonymous bpf iterator is seq_file based.
The seq_file private data are referenced by targets.
The bpf_iter infrastructure allocated additional space
at seq_file->private before the space used by targets
to store some meta data, e.g.,
  prog:       prog to run
  session_id: an unique id for each opened seq_file
  seq_num:    how many times bpf programs are queried in this session
  done_stop:  an internal state to decide whether bpf program
              should be called in seq_ops->stop() or not

The seq_num will start from 0 for valid objects.
The bpf program may see the same seq_num more than once if
 - seq_file buffer overflow happens and the same object
   is retried by bpf_seq_read(), or
 - the bpf program explicitly requests a retry of the
   same object

Since module is not supported for bpf_iter, all target
registeration happens at __init time, so there is no
need to change bpf_iter_unreg_target() as it is used
mostly in error path of the init function at which time
no bpf iterators have been created yet.
