bpf: Clarify batch lookup/lookup_and_delete semantics
The batch lookup and lookup_and_delete APIs have two parameters,
in_batch and out_batch, to facilitate iterative
lookup/lookup_and_deletion operations for supported maps. Except NULL
for in_batch at the start of these two batch operations, both parameters
need to point to memory equal or larger than the respective map key
size, except for various hashmaps (hash, percpu_hash, lru_hash,
lru_percpu_hash) where the in_batch/out_batch memory size should be
at least 4 bytes.
Document these semantics to clarify the API.
