Merge branch 'bpf_get_task_stack'

Song Liu says:

====================
This set introduces a new helper bpf_get_task_stack(). The primary use case
is to dump all /proc/*/stack to seq_file via bpf_iter__task.

A few different approaches have been explored and compared:

  1. A simple wrapper around stack_trace_save_tsk(), as v1 [1].

     This approach introduces new syntax, which is different to existing
     helper bpf_get_stack(). Therefore, this is not ideal.

  2. Extend get_perf_callchain() to support "task" as argument.

     This approach reuses most of bpf_get_stack(). However, extending
     get_perf_callchain() requires non-trivial changes to architecture
     specific code. Which is error prone.

  3. Current (v2) approach, leverages most of existing bpf_get_stack(), and
     uses stack_trace_save_tsk() to handle architecture specific logic.
