Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

<title>bpf: Convert bpf_preload.ko to use light skeleton.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cb80ddc67152e72f28ff6ea8517acdf875d7381d</id>
<content type='text'>
The main change is a move of the single line
  #include "iterators.lskel.h"
from iterators/iterators.c to bpf_preload_kern.c.
Which means that generated light skeleton can be used from user space or
user mode driver like iterators.c or from the kernel module or the kernel itself.
The direct use of light skeleton from the kernel module simplifies the code,
since UMD is no longer necessary. The libbpf.a required user space and UMD. The
CO-RE in the kernel and generated "loader bpf program" used by the light
skeleton are capable to perform complex loading operations traditionally
provided by libbpf. In addition UMD approach was launching UMD process
every time bpffs has to be mounted. With light skeleton in the kernel
the bpf_preload kernel module loads bpf iterators once and pins them
multiple times into different bpffs mounts.

<content type='text'>
We noticed our tc ebpf tools can't start after we upgrade our in-house kernel
version from 4.19 to 5.10. That is because of the behaviour change in bpffs
caused by commit d2935de7e4fd ("vfs: Convert bpf to use the new mount API").

In our tc ebpf tools, we do strict environment check. If the environment is
not matched, we won't allow to start the ebpf progs. One of the check is whether
bpffs is properly mounted. The mount information of bpffs in kernel-4.19 and
kernel-5.10 are as follows:

- kernel 4.19
$ mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf
$ mount -t bpf
bpffs on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,relatime)

- kernel 5.10
$ mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf
$ mount -t bpf
none on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,relatime)

The device name in kernel-5.10 is displayed as none instead of bpffs, then our
environment check fails. Currently we modify the tools to adopt to the kernel
behaviour change, but I think we'd better change the kernel code to keep the
behavior consistent.

After this change, the mount information will be displayed the same with the
behavior in kernel-4.19, for example:

$ mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf
$ mount -t bpf
bpffs on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,relatime)

<title>bpf: Fix regression on BPF_OBJ_GET with non-O_RDWR flags</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5dec6d96d12d33900ec315972c8e47a73bcc378d</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit d37300ed1821 ("bpf: program: Refuse non-O_RDWR flags
in BPF_OBJ_GET"). It breaks Android userspace which expects to be able to
fetch programs with just read permissions.

See: https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/+/master:frameworks/libs/net/common/native/bpf_syscall_wrappers/include/BpfSyscallWrappers.h;drc=7005c764be23d31fa1d69e826b4a2f6689a8c81e;l=124

Side-note: another option to fix it would be to extend bpf_prog_new_fd()
and to pass in used file mode flags in the same way as we do for maps via
bpf_map_new_fd(). Meaning, they'd end up in anon_inode_getfd() and thus
would be retained for prog fd operations with bpf() syscall. Right now
these flags are not checked with progs since they are immutable for their
lifetime (as opposed to maps which can be updated from user space). In
future this could potentially change with new features, but at that point
it's still fine to do the bpf_prog_new_fd() extension when needed. For a
simple stable fix, a revert is less churn.

bpf_preload_lock is already defined with DEFINE_MUTEX(). There is no
need to initialize it again. Remove the extraneous initialization.

As for bpf_link, refuse creating a non-O_RDWR fd. Since program fds
currently don't allow modifications this is a precaution, not a
straight up bug fix.
