Instead of forcing all arguments to be referenced pointers with non-zero
reg->ref_obj_id, tweak the definition of KF_TRUSTED_ARGS to mean that
only PTR_TO_BTF_ID (and socket types translated to PTR_TO_BTF_ID) have
that constraint, and require their offset to be set to 0.
The rest of pointer types are also accomodated in this definition of
trusted pointers, but with more relaxed rules regarding offsets.
The inherent meaning of setting this flag is that all kfunc pointer
arguments have a guranteed lifetime, and kernel object pointers
(PTR_TO_BTF_ID, PTR_TO_CTX) are passed in their unmodified form (with
offset 0). In general, this is not true for PTR_TO_BTF_ID as it can be
obtained using pointer walks.

Add KF_DESTRUCTIVE flag for destructive functions. Functions with this
flag set will require CAP_SYS_BOOT capabilities.

This allows to declare a kfunc as sleepable and prevents its use in
a non sleepable program.

As the usage of kfuncs grows, we are starting to form consensus on the
kinds of attributes and annotations that kfuncs can have. To better help
developers make sense of the various options available at their disposal
to present an unstable API to the BPF users, document the various kfunc
flags and annotations, their expected usage, and explain the process of
defining and registering a kfunc set.
