We can move bpf_map_ops and bpf_verifier_ops and other structs into ro
section, bpf_map_type_list and bpf_prog_type_list into read mostly.

- fix NULL pointer dereference:
kernel/bpf/arraymap.c:41 array_map_alloc() error: potential null dereference 'array'. (kzalloc returns null)
kernel/bpf/arraymap.c:41 array_map_alloc() error: we previously assumed 'array' could be null (see line 40)
- integer overflow check was missing in arraymap
(hashmap checks for overflow via kmalloc_array())
- arraymap can round_up(value_size, 8) to zero. check was missing.
- hashmap was missing zero size check as well, since roundup_pow_of_two() can
truncate into zero
- found a typo in the arraymap comment and unnecessary empty line
Fix all of these issues and make both overflow checks explicit U32 in size.

add new map type BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY and its implementation
- optimized for fastest possible lookup()
. in the future verifier/JIT may recognize lookup() with constant key
and optimize it into constant pointer. Can optimize non-constant
key into direct pointer arithmetic as well, since pointers and
value_size are constant for the life of the eBPF program.
In other words array_map_lookup_elem() may be 'inlined' by verifier/JIT
while preserving concurrent access to this map from user space
- two main use cases for array type:
. 'global' eBPF variables: array of 1 element with key=0 and value is a
collection of 'global' variables which programs can use to keep the state
between events
. aggregation of tracing events into fixed set of buckets
- all array elements pre-allocated and zero initialized at init time
- key as an index in array and can only be 4 byte
- map_delete_elem() returns EINVAL, since elements cannot be deleted
- map_update_elem() replaces elements in an non-atomic way
(for atomic updates hashtable type should be used instead)
