Re: [PATCH bpf-next v2 1/8] libbpf: Add a helper for retrieving a map fd for a given name

XDP samples are mostly cooperating with eBPF maps through their file
descriptors. In case of a eBPF program that contains multiple maps it
might be tiresome to iterate through them and call bpf_map__fd for each
one. Add a helper mostly based on bpf_object__find_map_by_name, but
instead of returning the struct bpf_map pointer, return map fd.

Bump libbpf ABI version to 0.0.2.

Application could just do: bpf_map__fd(bpf_object__find_map_by_name(...)) or
bpf_object__find_map_by_name(...)->fd as both are exposed via library, though
I guess it may be okay to have a helper for it as it feels this might be needed
in many cases.

+	}

Can we instead just do:

int
bpf_object__find_map_fd_by_name(struct bpf_object *obj, const char *name)
{
        return bpf_map__fd(bpf_object__find_map_by_name(obj, name));
