Implement new sub-command to attach cgroup BPF programs and return FD-based
bpf_link back on success. bpf_link, once attached to cgroup, cannot be
replaced, except by owner having its FD. Cgroup bpf_link supports only
BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI semantics. Both link-based and prog-based BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI
attachments can be freely intermixed.
To prevent bpf_cgroup_link from keeping cgroup alive past the point when no
BPF program can be executed, implement auto-detachment of link. When
cgroup_bpf_release() is called, all attached bpf_links are forced to release
cgroup refcounts, but they leave bpf_link otherwise active and allocated, as
well as still owning underlying bpf_prog. This is because user-space might
still have FDs open and active, so bpf_link as a user-referenced object can't
be freed yet. Once last active FD is closed, bpf_link will be freed and
underlying bpf_prog refcount will be dropped. But cgroup refcount won't be
touched, because cgroup is released already.
The inherent race between bpf_cgroup_link release (from closing last FD) and
cgroup_bpf_release() is resolved by both operations taking cgroup_mutex. So
the only additional check required is when bpf_cgroup_link attempts to detach
itself from cgroup. At that time we need to check whether there is still
cgroup associated with that link. And if not, exit with success, because
bpf_cgroup_link was already successfully detached.
