Test(s) is needed. e.g. iterating a bpf_sk_storage_map and also
calling bpf_sk_storage_get/delete.

I would expect to see another test/example
showing how it works end-to-end to solve the problem you have in hand.
This patch probably belongs to a longer series.

BTW, I am also enabling bpf_sk_storage_(get|delete) for FENTRY/FEXIT/RAW_TP
but I think the conflict should be manageable.
