[PATCH bpf-next v3 1/2] bpf: Support default .validate() and .update() behavior for struct_ops links

[David Vernet <void@manifault.com>]

Currently, if a struct_ops map is loaded with BPF_F_LINK, it must also
define the .validate() and .update() callbacks in its corresponding
struct bpf_struct_ops in the kernel. Enabling struct_ops link is useful
in its own right to ensure that the map is unloaded if an application
crashes. For example, with sched_ext, we want to automatically unload
the host-wide scheduler if the application crashes. We would likely
never support updating elements of a sched_ext struct_ops map, so we'd
have to implement these callbacks showing that they _can't_ support
element updates just to benefit from the basic lifetime management of
struct_ops links.

Let's enable struct_ops maps to work with BPF_F_LINK even if they
haven't defined these callbacks, by assuming that a struct_ops map
element cannot be updated by default.
