This is a followup of sleepable bpf_timer[0].

When discussing sleepable bpf_timer, it was thought that we should give
a try to bpf_wq, as the 2 APIs are similar but distinct enough to
justify a new one.

So here it is.

I tried to keep as much as possible common code in kernel/bpf/helpers.c
but I couldn't get away with code duplication in kernel/bpf/verifier.c.

This series introduces a basic bpf_wq support:
- creation is supported
- assignment is supported
- running a simple bpf_wq is also supported.

We will probably need to extend the API further with:
- a full delayed_work API (can be piggy backed on top with a correct
  flag)
- bpf_wq_cancel() <- apparently not, this is shooting ourself in the
  foot
- bpf_wq_cancel_sync() (for sleepable programs)
- documentation

---

For reference, the use cases I have in mind:

---

Basically, I need to be able to defer a HID-BPF program for the
following reasons (from the aforementioned patch):
1. defer an event:
   Sometimes we receive an out of proximity event, but the device can not
   be trusted enough, and we need to ensure that we won't receive another
   one in the following n milliseconds. So we need to wait those n
   milliseconds, and eventually re-inject that event in the stack.

2. inject new events in reaction to one given event:
   We might want to transform one given event into several. This is the
   case for macro keys where a single key press is supposed to send
   a sequence of key presses. But this could also be used to patch a
   faulty behavior, if a device forgets to send a release event.

3. communicate with the device in reaction to one event:
   We might want to communicate back to the device after a given event.
   For example a device might send us an event saying that it came back
   from sleeping state and needs to be re-initialized.

Currently we can achieve that by keeping a userspace program around,
raise a bpf event, and let that userspace program inject the events and
commands.
However, we are just keeping that program alive as a daemon for just
scheduling commands. There is no logic in it, so it doesn't really justify
an actual userspace wakeup. So a kernel workqueue seems simpler to handle.

bpf_timers are currently running in a soft IRQ context, this patch
series implements a sleppable context for them.

Cheers,
Benjamin

Changes in v2:
- took previous review into account
- mainly dropped BPF_F_WQ_SLEEPABLE
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240416-bpf_wq-v1-0-c9e66092f842@kernel.org
