We have established a pattern of function naming win "_impl" suffix;
those functions accept verifier-provided bpf_prog_aux argument.
Following uniform convention will allow for transparent backwards
compatibility with the upcoming KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS feature. This patch
set aims to fix current deviation from the convention to eliminate
unnecessary backwards incompatibility in the future.

Three kfuncs added in 6.18 don’t follow this *_impl convention and
therefore won’t participate in the new KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS mechanism:
 * bpf_task_work_schedule_resume()
 * bpf_task_work_schedule_signal()
 * bpf_stream_vprintk()

Rename them to align with the implicit-arg flow:
bpf_task_work_schedule_resume() -> bpf_task_work_schedule_resume_impl()
bpf_task_work_schedule_signal() -> bpf_task_work_schedule_signal_impl()
bpf_stream_vprintk() -> bpf_stream_vprintk_impl()

The KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS mechanism is not in tree yet, so callers must
switch to the *_impl names for now. Once the new mechanism lands, the
plain names (without _impl) will be reintroduced.
