[PATCH net-next 1/7] bpf: add 'flags' attribute to BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM command

the current meaning of BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM syscall command is:
either update existing map element or create a new one.
Initially the plan was to add a new command to handle the case of
'create new element if it didn't exist', but 'flags' style looks
cleaner and overall diff is much smaller (more code reused), so add 'flags'
attribute to BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM command with the following meaning:
enum {
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_OR_CREATE = 0, /* add new element or update existing */
BPF_MAP_CREATE_ONLY, /* add new element if it didn't exist */
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ONLY /* update existing element */
};

BPF_MAP_CREATE_ONLY can fail with EEXIST if element already exists.
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ONLY can fail with ENOENT if element doesn't exist.

Userspace will call it as:
int bpf_update_elem(int fd, void *key, void *value, __u64 flags)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.map_fd = fd,
.key = ptr_to_u64(key),
.value = ptr_to_u64(value),
.flags = flags;
};

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