This open coded iterator allows for more flexibility when creating BPF
programs. It can support output in formats other than text. With an open
coded iterator, a single BPF program can traverse multiple kernel data
structures (now including dmabufs), allowing for more efficient analysis
of kernel data compared to multiple reads from procfs, sysfs, or
multiple traditional BPF iterator invocations.

The dmabuf iterator traverses the list of all DMA buffers.
DMA buffers are refcounted through their associated struct file. A
reference is taken on each buffer as the list is iterated to ensure each
buffer persists for the duration of the bpf program execution without
holding the list mutex.
