According to the discussion with Martin offline, features and these 
states will be simplified.

TEBUNREG and UNREG weil eliminated. The INIT state is redefined to 
indicate that the value of a struct_ops has been initialized, or 
updated. Once it is updated, there's no reversing it; its value is 
permanent from then on out.

The state diagram will look like the following for the new behavior.

  UNINT ---> INIT

Although multiple links may register the same struct_ops, certain 
sub-systems forbid this. For instance, tcp-cc mandates that algorithms 
must have distinct names, and thus one struct_ops cannot be registered 
twice or more times. However, other subsystems might permit a struct_ops 
to be repeatedly registered. Moreover, a link can only be created from 
the struct_ops in the INIT state.  The state of the struct_ops will not 
move to the INUSE state anymore.

TOBEFREE deson't transit back to the INIT state anymore. That means a 
map can not be reused.  So, the state diagram of map without BPF_F_LINK 
will looks like following.

  INIT ---> INUSE ---> TOBEFREE
