Merge branch 'bpf: Add socket destroy capability'

Aditi Ghag says:

====================

This patch set adds the capability to destroy sockets in BPF. We plan to
use the capability in Cilium to force client sockets to reconnect when
their remote load-balancing backends are deleted. The other use case is
on-the-fly policy enforcement where existing socket connections
prevented by policies need to be terminated.

The use cases, and more details around
the selected approach were presented at LPC 2022 -

v9 highlights:
Address review comments:
Martin:
- Rearranged the kfunc filter patch, and added the missing break
  statement.
- Squashed the extended selftest/bpf patch.
Yonghong:
- Revised commit message for patch 1.

(Below notes are same as v8 patch series that are still relevant. Refer to
earlier patch series versions for other notes.)
- I hit a snag while writing the kfunc where verifier complained about the
  `sock_common` type passed from TCP iterator. With kfuncs, there don't
  seem to be any options available to pass BTF type hints to the verifier
  (equivalent of `ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_SOCK_COMMON`, as was the case with the
  helper).  As a result, I changed the argument type of the sock_destory
  kfunc to `sock_common`.
