bpf: Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS

This patch allows the kernel's struct ops (i.e. func ptr) to be
implemented in BPF.  The first use case in this series is the
"struct tcp_congestion_ops" which will be introduced in a
latter patch.

This patch introduces a new prog type BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS.
The BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog is verified against a particular
func ptr of a kernel struct.  The attr->attach_btf_id is the btf id
of a kernel struct.  The attr->expected_attach_type is the member
"index" of that kernel struct.  The first member of a struct starts
with member index 0.  That will avoid ambiguity when a kernel struct
has multiple func ptrs with the same func signature.

For example, a BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog is written
to implement the "init" func ptr of the "struct tcp_congestion_ops".
The attr->attach_btf_id is the btf id of the "struct tcp_congestion_ops"
of the _running_ kernel.  The attr->expected_attach_type is 3.

The ctx of BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS is an array of u64 args saved
by arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline that will be done in the next
patch when introducing BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS.

"struct bpf_struct_ops" is introduced as a common interface for the kernel
struct that supports BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog.  The supporting kernel
struct will need to implement an instance of the "struct bpf_struct_ops".

The supporting kernel struct also needs to implement a bpf_verifier_ops.
During BPF_PROG_LOAD, bpf_struct_ops_find() will find the right
bpf_verifier_ops by searching the attr->attach_btf_id.

A new "btf_struct_access" is also added to the bpf_verifier_ops such
that the supporting kernel struct can optionally provide its own specific
check on accessing the func arg (e.g. provide limited write access).

After btf_vmlinux is parsed, the new bpf_struct_ops_init() is called
to initialize some values (e.g. the btf id of the supporting kernel
struct) and it can only be done once the btf_vmlinux is available.

The R0 checks at BPF_EXIT is excluded for the BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog
if the return type of the prog->aux->attach_func_proto is "void".
