[bpf-next,v7,0/5] 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 v6:

 - Add part 5 to make bpftool show the value of parameters.

 - Change of wording of show_fdinfo() to show pid or tid instead of
   always pid.

 - Simplify error handling and naming of test cases.

Differences from v5:

 - Use user-speace tid/pid terminologies in bpf_iter_link_info and
   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.
