bpf: Support associating BPF program with struct_ops
Add a new BPF command BPF_PROG_ASSOC_STRUCT_OPS to allow associating
a BPF program with a struct_ops map. This command takes a file
descriptor of a struct_ops map and a BPF program and set
prog->aux->st_ops_assoc to the kdata of the struct_ops map.
The command does not accept a struct_ops program or a non-struct_ops
map. Programs of a struct_ops map is automatically associated with the
map during map update. If a program is shared between two struct_ops
maps, prog->aux->st_ops_assoc will be poisoned to indicate that the
associated struct_ops is ambiguous. A kernel helper
bpf_prog_get_assoc_struct_ops() can be used to retrieve the pointer.
The associated struct_ops map, once set, cannot be changed later. This
restriction may be lifted in the future if there is a use case.
Each associated programs except struct_ops programs of the map will take
a refcount on the map to pin it so that prog->aux->st_ops_assoc, if set,
is always valid. However, it is not guaranteed whether the map members
are fully updated nor is it attached or not. For example, a BPF program
can be associated with a struct_ops map before map_update. The
struct_ops implementer will be responsible for maintaining and checking
the state of the associated struct_ops map before accessing it.
