Add bpf_link support skeleton. To keep this reviewable, no bpf program
can be invoked yet, if a program is attached only a c-stub is called and
not the actual bpf program.
Defaults to 'y' if both netfilter and bpf syscall are enabled in kconfig.
Uapi example usage:
union bpf_attr attr = { };
attr.link_create.prog_fd = progfd;
attr.link_create.attach_type = 0; /* unused */
attr.link_create.netfilter.pf = PF_INET;
attr.link_create.netfilter.hooknum = NF_INET_LOCAL_IN;
attr.link_create.netfilter.priority = -128;
err = bpf(BPF_LINK_CREATE, &attr, sizeof(attr));
... this would attach progfd to ipv4:input hook.
Such hook gets removed automatically if the calling program exits.
BPF_NETFILTER program invocation is added in followup change.
NF_HOOK_OP_BPF enum will eventually be read from nfnetlink_hook, it
allows to tell userspace which program is attached at the given hook
when user runs 'nft hook list' command rather than just the priority
and not-very-helpful 'this hook runs a bpf prog but I can't tell which
one'.
Will also be used to disallow registration of two bpf programs with
same priority in a followup patch.
v4: arm32 cmpxchg only supports 32bit operand
s/prio/priority/
v3: restrict prog attachment to ip/ip6 for now, lets lift restrictions if
more use cases pop up (arptables, ebtables, netdev ingress/egress etc).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
