[bpf-next,v4,0/3] 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 v3:

 - Fix the test case bpf_iter/test

Differences from v2:

 - Supports tid, tgid, and pidfd.

 - Change 'type' from __u8 to enum bpf_task_iter_type.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[e-mail]/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[e-mail]/
