Introduce bpf_link abstraction, representing an attachment of BPF program to a BPF hook point (e.g., tracepoint, perf event, etc). bpf_link encapsulates ownership of attached BPF program, reference counting of a link itself, when reference from multiple anonymous inodes, as well as ensures that release callback will be called from a process context, so that users can safely take mutex locks and sleep. Additionally, with a new abstraction it's now possible to generalize pinning of a link object in BPF FS, allowing to explicitly prevent BPF program detachment on process exit by pinning it in a BPF FS and let it open from independent other process to keep working with it. Convert two existing bpf_link-like objects (raw tracepoint and tracing BPF program attachments) into utilizing bpf_link framework, making them pinnable in BPF FS. More FD-based bpf_links will be added in follow up patches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
