bpf: expand BPF syscall with program load/unload

eBPF programs are similar to kernel modules. They are loaded by the user
process and automatically unloaded when process exits. Each eBPF program is
a safe run-to-completion set of instructions. eBPF verifier statically
determines that the program terminates and is safe to execute.

The following syscall wrapper can be used to load the program:
int bpf_prog_load(enum bpf_prog_type prog_type,
                  const struct bpf_insn *insns, int insn_cnt,
                  const char *license)
{
    union bpf_attr attr = {
        .prog_type = prog_type,
        .insns = ptr_to_u64(insns),
        .insn_cnt = insn_cnt,
        .license = ptr_to_u64(license),
    };

    return bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
where 'insns' is an array of eBPF instructions and 'license' is a string
that must be GPL compatible to call helper functions marked gpl_only

Upon succesful load the syscall returns prog_fd.
Use close(prog_fd) to unload the program.

User space tests and examples follow in the later patches
