[bpf-next,v6,0/4] Parameterize task iterators.

Allow creating an iterator that loops through resources of one task/thread.

People could only create iterators to loop through all resources of
files, vma, and tasks in the system, even though they were interested in only the
resources of a specific task or process.  Passing the addintional
parameters, people can now create an iterator to go through all
resources or only the resources of a task.

Major Changes:

 - Add new parameters in bpf_iter_link_info to indicate to go through
   all tasks or to go through a specific task.

 - Change the implementations of BPF iterators of vma, files, and
   tasks to allow going through only the resources of a specific task.

 - Provide the arguments of parameterized task iterators in
   bpf_link_info.

Differences from v5:

 - Use user-speace tid/pid terminologies in bpf_iter_link_info *** BLURB HERE ***
   bpf_link_info.

 - Fix reference count

 - Merge all variants to one 'u32 pid' in internal structs.
   (bpf_iter_aux_info and bpf_iter_seq_task_common)

 - Compare the result of get_uprobe_offset() with the implementation
   with the vma iterators.

 - Implement show_fdinfo.

Differences from v4:

 - Remove 'type' from bpf_iter_link_info and bpf_link_info.

We normally carry over entire change history across revisions, so we
don't have to jump through multiple links to see what happened
earlier. Please consider preserving all the changes in one place for
next revision.
