[RFC bpf-next 0/2] Print map ID on successful creation

[Harshit Mogalapalli <harshit.m.mogalapalli@oracle.com>]

Hi all,

I have tried looking at an issue from the bpftool repository:
https://github.com/libbpf/bpftool/issues/121 and this RFC tries to add
that enhancement.

Summary: Currently when a map creation is successful there is no message
on the terminal, printing IDs on successful creation of maps can help
notify the user and can be used in CI/CD.

The first patch adds the logic for printing and the second patch adds a
simple selftest for the same.

The github issue is not fully solved with these two patches, as there
are other bpf objects that might need similar additions. Would
appreciate any inputs on this.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Harshit
