[PATCH v2 bpf 0/2] bpf: skip non exist keys in

generic_map_lookup_batch

The generic_map_lookup_batch currently returns EINTR if it fails with
ENOENT and retries several times on bpf_map_copy_value. The next batch
would start from the same location, presuming it's a transient issue.
This is incorrect if a map can actually have "holes", i.e.
"get_next_key" can return a key that does not point to a valid value. At
least the array of maps type may contain such holes legitly. Right now
these holes show up, generic batch lookup cannot proceed any more. It
will always fail with EINTR errors.

This patch fixes this behavior by skipping the non-existing key, and
does not return EINTR any more.

V1->V2: split the fix and selftests; fixed a few selftests issues.

bpf: skip non exist keys in generic_map_lookup_batch
selftests: bpf: test batch lookup on array of maps with holes
