    add new map type to store stack traces and corresponding helper
    bpf_get_stackid(ctx, map, flags) - walk user or kernel stack and return id
    @ctx: struct pt_regs*
    @map: pointer to stack_trace map
    @flags: bits 0-7 - numer of stack frames to skip
            bit 8 - collect user stack instead of kernel
            bit 9 - compare stacks by hash only
            bit 10 - if two different stacks hash into the same stackid
                     discard old
            other bits - reserved
    Return: >= 0 stackid on success or negative error
    
    stackid is a 32-bit integer handle that can be further combined with
    other data (including other stackid) and used as a key into maps.
    
    Userspace will access stackmap using standard lookup/delete syscall commands to
    retrieve full stack trace for given stackid.
