The fd_array attribute of the BPF_PROG_LOAD syscall may contain a set
of file descriptors: maps or btfs. This field was introduced as a
sparse array. Introduce a new attribute, fd_array_cnt, which, if
present, indicates that the fd_array is a continuous array of the
corresponding length.
If fd_array_cnt is non-zero, then every map in the fd_array will be
bound to the program, as if it was used by the program. This
functionality is similar to the BPF_PROG_BIND_MAP syscall, but such
maps can be used by the verifier during the program load.
