[PATCH RFC bpf-next v1 6/9] bpf: Add KF_THROW annotation for kfuncs

[Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi <memxor@gmail.com>]

Add KF_THROW annotation to kfuncs to indicate that they may throw. This
is mostly for testing for now, but in the future it could be used by
kfuncs to throw on invalid arguments or invalid conditions based on
their input arguments, causing the program to abort, and simplify the
overall user experience of kfuncs for the happy case, without having to
deal with corner cases that never occur at runtime.
