This patch extends batch operations support for map-in-map map-types: BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS and BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS A usecase where outer HASH map holds hundred of VIP entries and its associated reuse-ports per VIP stored in REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY type inner map, needs to do batch operation for performance gain. This patch leverages the exiting generic functions for most of the batch operations. As map-in-map's value contains the actual reference of the inner map, for BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS type, it needed an extra step to fetch the map_id from the reference value. selftests are added in next patch 2/2.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
