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.

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.
