[PATCH bpf-next v4 05/16] bpf: allow . char as part of the object name

[Daniel Borkmann]

Trivial addition to allow '.' aside from '_' as "special" characters
in the object name. Used to allow for substrings in maps from loader
side such as ".bss", ".data", ".rodata", but could also be useful for
other purposes.
