[PATCH bpf v2] bpf: netfilter: add BPF_NETFILTER bpf_attach_type

 And we currently don't have an attach type for NETLINK BPF link.
 Thankfully it's not too late to add it. I see that link_create() in
 kernel/bpf/syscall.c just bypasses attach_type check. We shouldn't
 have done that. Instead we need to add BPF_NETLINK attach type to enum
 bpf_attach_type. And wire all that properly throughout the kernel and
 libbpf itself.

This adds BPF_NETFILTER and uses it.  This breaks uabi but this
wasn't in any non-rc release yet, so it should be fine.

v2: check link_attack prog type in link_create too

There was one more place that needed adjustment in
tools/lib/bpf/libbpf_probes.c and another in tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c
for BPF_NETLINK -> "netlink" string representation. I fixed it up and
pushed it to the bpf tree, but for future submissions please make sure
to run all selftests locally and make sure they all pass.
