A bpf_iter program is a tracing program with attach type
BPF_TRACE_ITER. The load attribute
attach_btf_id
is used by the verifier against a particular kernel function,
which represents a target, e.g., __bpf_iter__bpf_map
for target bpf_map which is implemented later.
The program return value must be 0 or 1 for now.
0 : successful, except potential seq_file buffer overflow
which is handled by seq_file reader.
1 : request to restart the same object
In the future, other return values may be used for filtering or
teminating the iterator.

The target can call bpf_iter_reg_target() to register itself.
The needed information:
target: target name
seq_ops: the seq_file operations for the target
init_seq_private target callback to initialize seq_priv during file open
fini_seq_private target callback to clean up seq_priv during file release
seq_priv_size: the private_data size needed by the seq_file
operations
The target name represents a target which provides a seq_ops
for iterating objects.
The target can provide two callback functions, init_seq_private
and fini_seq_private, called during file open/release time.
For example, /proc/net/{tcp6, ipv6_route, netlink, ...}, net
name space needs to be setup properly during file open and
released properly during file release.
Function bpf_iter_unreg_target() is also implemented to unregister
a particular target.
