Hello,

Add IORING_OP_BPF for extending io_uring operations, follows typical cases:

- buffer registered zero copy [1]

Also there are some RAID like ublk servers which needs to generate data
parity in case of ublk zero copy

- extend io_uring operations from application

Easy to add one new syscall with IORING_OP_BPF

- extend 64 byte SQE

bpf map can store IO data conveniently

- communicate in IO chain

IORING_OP_BPF can be used for communicate among IOs seamlessly without requiring
extra syscall

- pretty handy to inject error for test purpose

Any comments & feedback are welcome!

https://lpc.events/event/18/contributions/1710/attachments/1440/3070/LPC2024_ublk_zero_copy.pdf

V3:
	- add per-buffer iterator kfuncs for addressing Caleb's concern about
	  complicated kfunc interface, kernel mapped buffer produced by the
	  iterator can be read/written from bpf prog in zero copy style

	- rename to bpf_ext

	- change tests to copy between uring_buf and arena, which may match
	  with raid's use case

	- misc cleanup


V2:
	- per-ring struct ops (Stefan Metzmacher, Caleb Sander Mateos)
	- refactor io_import_fixed()/io_prep_reg_iovec()/io_import_reg_vec()
	  for allowing to handle multiple buffers for single request
	- kernel selftests
	- all kinds of comments from Caleb Sander Mateos
	- support vectored and registered vector buffer
