One of the pieces of feedback from recent review of BPF hooks for socket
lookup [0] was that new program types should use bpf_link-based attachment.

Unlike with cgroups-attached programs, there is no existing infrastructure
for using bpf_links with network namespaces. It is also not as simple as
updating a single bpf_prog pointer, like in case of direct program
attachment.

Due to that I've split out this work into its own series.

Series is organized as so:

Patches 1-4 prepare a space in struct net to keep state for attached BPF
programs, and massage the code in flow_dissector to make it attach type
agnostic to finally move under kernel/bpf/.

Patch 5, the most important one, introduces new bpf_link link type for
attaching to network namespace. As opposed to cgroups, we can't hold a
ref count on struct net from a bpf_link, so we get by with just RCU
protection.

I'd be grateful if someone more experienced using RCU could give this
patch a look. It is not exactly the textbook application of it.

Patches 6-8 make libbpf and bpftool aware of the new link type and add
tests to check that link create/update/query API works as intended.

Thanks to Lorenz and Marek for early feedback & reviews.
