From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

The main change is a move of the single line
  #include "iterators.lskel.h"
from iterators/iterators.c to bpf_preload_kern.c.
Which means that generated light skeleton can be used from user space or
user mode driver like iterators.c or from the kernel module.
The direct use of light skeleton from the kernel module simplifies the code,
since UMD is no longer necessary. The libbpf.a required user space and UMD. The
CO-RE in the kernel and generated "loader bpf program" used by the light
skeleton are capable to perform complex loading operations traditionally
provided by libbpf. In addition UMD approach was launching UMD process
every time bpffs has to be mounted. With light skeleton in the kernel
the bpf_preload kernel module loads bpf iterators once and pins them
multiple times into different bpffs mounts.

Note the light skeleton cannot be used during early boot or out of kthread
since light skeleton needs a valid mm. This limitation could be lifted in the
future.

Indeed, this is much more simpler which uses the same set of lskel
API functions. One minor nit below.

We can do iterators_bpf__open_and_load here, right?

Right. It does __open and __load separately, so it's easier
to insert debug printk and adjust rodata for testing.

Once all the debugging thing is done as in this patch,
iterators_bpf__open_and_load can make code more
concise. But I am okay either way.
