Batch UDP sockets from BPF iterator that allows for overlapping locking semantics in BPF/kernel helpers executed in BPF programs. This facilitates BPF socket destroy kfunc (introduced by follow-up patches) to execute from BPF iterator programs. Previously, BPF iterators acquired the sock lock and sockets hash table bucket lock while executing BPF programs. This prevented BPF helpers that again acquire these locks to be executed from BPF iterators. With the batching approach, we acquire a bucket lock, batch all the bucket sockets, and then release the bucket lock. This enables BPF or kernel helpers to skip sock locking when invoked in the supported BPF contexts. The batching logic is similar to the logic implemented in TCP iterator: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210701200613.1036157-1-kafai@fb.com/.

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.
