bpf: add iterator kfuncs registration and validation logic
Add ability to register kfuncs that implement BPF open-coded iterator contract and enforce naming and function proto convention. Enforcement happens at the time of kfunc registration and significantly simplifies the rest of iterators logic in the verifier. More details follow in subsequent patches, but we enforce the following conditions. All kfuncs (constructor, next, destructor) have to be named consistenly as bpf_iter_<type>_{new,next,destroy}(), respectively. <type> represents iterator type, and iterator state should be represented as a matching `struct bpf_iter_<type>` state type. Also, all iter kfuncs should have a pointer to this `struct bpf_iter_<type>` as the very first argument. Additionally: - Constructor, i.e., bpf_iter_<type>_new(), can have arbitrary extra number of arguments. Return type is not enforced either. - Next method, i.e., bpf_iter_<type>_next(), has to return a pointer type and should have exactly one argument: `struct bpf_iter_<type> *` (const/volatile/restrict and typedefs are ignored). - Destructor, i.e., bpf_iter_<type>_destroy(), should return void and should have exactly one argument, similar to the next method. - struct bpf_iter_<type> size is enforced to be positive and a multiple of 8 bytes (to fit stack slots correctly). Such strictness and consistency allows to build generic helpers abstracting important, but boilerplate, details to be able to use open-coded iterators effectively and ergonomically (see bpf_for_each() in subsequent patches). It also simplifies the verifier logic in some places. At the same time, this doesn't hurt generality of possible iterator implementations. Win-win. Constructor kfunc is marked with a new KF_ITER_NEW flags, next method is marked with KF_ITER_NEXT (and should also have KF_RET_NULL, of course), while destructor kfunc is marked as KF_ITER_DESTROY. Additionally, we add a trivial kfunc name validation: it should be a valid non-NULL and non-empty string.
