bpf: Recognize '__map' suffix in kfunc arguments
Recognize 'void *p__map' kfunc argument as 'struct bpf_map *p__map'. It allows kfunc to have 'void *' argument for maps, since bpf progs will call them as: struct { __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARENA); ... } arena SEC(".maps"); bpf_kfunc_with_map(... &arena ...); Underneath libbpf will load CONST_PTR_TO_MAP into the register via ld_imm64 insn. If kfunc was defined with 'struct bpf_map *' it would pass the verifier as well, but bpf prog would need to type cast the argument (void *)&arena, which is not clean.
