idea is pretty simple. for specified map (pointed by struct bpf_map) we would provide descriptor of already loaded map, which is going to be used as a prototype for inner map. proposed workflow: 1) open bpf's object (bpf_object__open) 2) create bpf's map which is going to be used as a prototype 3) find (by name) map-in-map which you want to load and update w/ descriptor of inner map w/ a new helper from this patch 4) load bpf program w/ bpf_object__load
inner_map_fd is ignored by any other maps asidef from (hash|array) of maps Signed-off-by: Nikita V.
