Commit f1a2e44a3a ("bpf: add queue and stack maps") added helpers
with ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MAP_VALUE. Meaning, the helper is supposed to
fill the map value buffer with data instead of reading from it like
in other helpers such as map update. However, given the buffer is
allowed to be uninitialized (since we fill it in the helper anyway),
it also means that the helper is obliged to wipe the memory in case
of an error in order to not allow for leaking uninitialized memory.
Given pop/peek is both handled inside __{stack,queue}_map_get(),
lets wipe it there on error case, that is, empty stack/queue.

Queue/stack maps implement a FIFO/LIFO data storage for ebpf programs.
These maps support peek, pop and push operations that are exposed to eBPF
programs through the new bpf_map[peek/pop/push] helpers. Those operations
are exposed to userspace applications through the already existing
syscalls in the following way:
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM -> peek
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_ELEM -> pop
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM -> push
Queue/stack maps are implemented using a buffer, tail and head indexes,
hence BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC is not supported.
As opposite to other maps, queue and stack do not use RCU for protecting
maps values, the bpf_map[peek/pop] have a ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MAP_VALUE
argument that is a pointer to a memory zone where to save the value of a
map. Basically the same as ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM, but the size has not
be passed as an extra argument.
Our main motivation for implementing queue/stack maps was to keep track
of a pool of elements, like network ports in a SNAT, however we forsee
other use cases, like for exampling saving last N kernel events in a map
and then analysing from userspace.
