samples/bpf: bpf_load.c detect and abort if ELF maps section size is wrong
The struct bpf_map_def was extended in commit fb30d4b71214 ("bpf: Add tests for map-in-map") with member unsigned int inner_map_idx. This changed the size of the maps section in the generated ELF _kern.o files. Unfortunately the loader in bpf_load.c does not detect or handle this. Thus, older _kern.o files became incompatible, and caused hard-to-debug errors where the syscall validation rejected BPF_MAP_CREATE request. This patch only detect the situation and aborts load_bpf_file(). It also add code comments warning people that read this loader for inspiration for these pitfalls.
