Can the comma-separated completion work as written? When bash completes a
single match, it appends a trailing space, which splits the argument into
two words. Example:

  $ bpftool map create /sys/fs/bpf/m type hash key 4 value 4 \
    entries 1 name m flags BPF_F_MM<TAB>

completes to:

  ... flags BPF_F_MMAPABLE ,BPF_F_RDONLY

That becomes two argv words (the space before the comma). do_create() in
map.c consumes "flags BPF_F_MMAPABLE" and re-enters its loop with only
",BPF_F_RDONLY" left, so REQ_ARGS(2) fails with the message "'
BPF_F_MMAPABLE' needs at least 2 arguments, 1 found". To build a multi-
flag list the user has to delete the inserted space by hand, which defeats
the prefix-preservation logic at lines 745-749.

The usual fix is `compopt -o nospace` when emitting list elements (guarded
for shells without compopt), or suppressing the space only when more than
one flag remains plausible.
