[PATCH RFC bpf-next 0/3] BPF FS mount options parsing follow ups

Original BPF token patch set ([0]) added delegate_xxx mount options which
supported only special "any" value and hexadecimal bitmask. This patch set
attempts to make specifying and inspecting these mount options more
human-friendly by supporting string constants matching corresponding bpf_cmd,
bpf_map_type, bpf_prog_type, and bpf_attach_type enumerators.
This is an RFC patch set and I've only converted bpf_cmd enum to be generated
through reusable mapper macro. If the consensus is that this approach is the
way to go, adding similar support for three remaining enums is just a matter
of mundane mechanical conversion in UAPI header. Kernel-side logic for all
delegate_xxx mount options is completely generic already as implemented in
patch #1.
