Merge branch 'bpf-event-output-offload'

Jakub Kicinski says:

====================
This series centres on NFP offload of bpf_event_output().  The
first patch allows perf event arrays to be used by offloaded
programs.  Next patch makes the nfp driver keep track of such
arrays to be able to filter FW events referring to maps.
Perf event arrays are not device bound.  Having driver
reimplement and manage the perf array seems brittle and unnecessary.

Patch 4 moves slightly the verifier step which replaces map fds
with map pointers.  This is useful for nfp JIT since we can then
easily replace host pointers with NFP table ids (patch 6).  This
allows us to lift the limitation on map helpers having to be used
with the same map pointer on all paths.  Second use of replacing
fds with real host map pointers is that we can use the host map
pointer as a key for FW events in perf event array offload.

Patch 5 adds perf event output offload support for the NFP.

There are some differences between bpf_event_output() offloaded
and non-offloaded version.  The FW messages which carry events
may get dropped and reordered relatively easily.  The return codes
from the helper are also not guaranteed to match the host.  Users
are warned about some of those discrepancies with a one time
warning message to kernel logs.

bpftool gains an ability to dump perf ring events in a very simple
format.  This was very useful for testing and simple debug, maybe
it will be useful to others?

Last patch is a trivial comment fix.
