Commit a26ca7c982cb ("bpf: btf: Add pretty print support to the
basic arraymap") and Commit 699c86d6ec21 ("bpf: btf: add pretty print
for hash/lru_hash maps") added bpffs pretty print for array, hash and
lru hash maps. The pretty print gives users a structurally formatted
dump for keys/values which much easy to understand than raw bytes.

This patch set implemented bpffs pretty print support for
percpu arraymap, percpu hashmap and percpu lru hashmap.
For complex key/value types, the pretty print here is even more useful
due to
  . large volumne of data making it even harder to correlate bytes
    to a particular field in a particular cpu.
  . kernel rounds the value size for each cpu to multiple of 8.
    User has to be aware of this otherwise wrong value may be
    derived from cpu 1/2/...

For example, we may have a bpffs pretty print like below:
   43602: {
        cpu0: {43602,0,-43602,0x3,0xaa52,0x3,{43602|[82,170,0,0,0,0,0,0]},ENUM_TWO}
        cpu1: {43602,0,-43602,0x3,0xaa52,0x3,{43602|[82,170,0,0,0,0,0,0]},ENUM_TWO}
        cpu2: {43602,0,-43602,0x3,0xaa52,0x3,{43602|[82,170,0,0,0,0,0,0]},ENUM_TWO}
        cpu3: {43602,0,-43602,0x3,0xaa52,0x3,{43602|[82,170,0,0,0,0,0,0]},ENUM_TWO}
   }
for a percpu map.

This patch also added percpu formatted print on bpftool. For example,
bpftool may print like below:
    {
        "key": 0,
        "values": [{
                "cpu": 0,
                "value": {
                    "ui32": 0,
                    "ui16": 0,
                }
            },{
                "cpu": 1,
                "value": {
                    "ui32": 1,
                    "ui16": 0,
                }
            },{
                "cpu": 2,
                "value": {
                    "ui32": 2,
                    "ui16": 0,
                }
            },{
                "cpu": 3,
                "value": {
                    "ui32": 3,
                    "ui16": 0,
                }
            }
        ]
    }

Patch #1 implemented bpffs pretty print for percpu arraymap/hash/lru_hash
in kernel. Patch #2 added the test case in tools bpf selftest test_btf.
Patch #3 added percpu map btf based dump.
