Merge branch 'Notify user space when a struct_ops object is detached/unregistered'

Kui-Feng Lee says:

====================
The subsystems managing struct_ops objects may need to detach a
struct_ops object due to errors or other reasons. It would be useful
to notify user space programs so that error recovery or logging can be
carried out.

This patch set enables the detach feature for struct_ops links and
send an event to epoll when a link is detached.  Subsystems could call
link->ops->detach() to detach a link and notify user space programs
through epoll.

The signatures of callback functions in "struct bpf_struct_ops" have
been changed as well to pass an extra link argument to
subsystems. Subsystems could detach the links received from reg() and
update() callbacks if there is. This also provides a way that
subsystems can distinguish registrations for an object that has been
registered multiple times for several links.

However, bpf struct_ops maps without BPF_F_LINK have no any link.
Subsystems will receive NULL link pointer for this case.

Changes from v1:

 - Pass a link to reg, unreg, and update callbacks.

 - Provide a function to detach a link from underlying subsystems.

 - Add a kfunc to mimic detachments from subsystems, and provide a
    flexible way to control when to do detachments.
