[PATCH bpf-next 2/2] bpf: update uapi/linux/bpf.h docs on the batch map ops

[Anton Protopopov]

The map_lookup{,_and_delete}_batch operations return same values. Make
this clear in documentation. Also, update the comments so that this is
more clear that -ENOENT is a valid return value in case of success. (In
fact, this is the most common return value, as this is reasonable to do
map_lookup_batch(MAX_ENTRIES), which, in case of success, will always
return -ENOENT.)
