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).
