bpf: minimal support for programs hooked into netfilter framework

This adds minimal support for BPF_PROG_TYPE_NETFILTER bpf programs
that will be invoked via the NF_HOOK() points in the ip stack.

Invocation incurs an indirect call. This is not a necessity: Its
possible to add 'DEFINE_BPF_DISPATCHER(nf_progs)' and handle the
program invocation with the same method already done for xdp progs.

This isn't done here to keep the size of this chunk down.

Verifier restricts verdicts to either DROP or ACCEPT.

bpf: add bpf_link support for BPF_NETFILTER programs

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).
