2023-04-27docs/bpf: Add LRU internals description and graphJoe Stringer1-0/+172
Extend the bpf hashmap docs to include a brief description of the internals of the LRU map type (setting appropriate API expectations), including the original commit message from Martin and a variant on the graph that I had presented during my Linux Plumbers Conference 2022 talk on "Pressure feedback for LRU map types"[0]. The node names in the dot file correspond roughly to the functions where the logic for those decisions or steps is defined, to help curious developers to cross-reference and update this logic if the details of the LRU implementation ever differ from this description.
