I did this to be consistent: in a single function definition you
either get the map specific
types or the regular semantics. You don't get to mix and match them.
For the same
reason I included ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MAP_VALUE: the semantics don't make
sense for sockmap, so a function using this doesn't make sense either.
