[PATCH bpf-next v5 01/17] bpf/btf: also allow kfunc in tracing and syscall programs

Tracing and syscall BPF program types are very convenient to add BPF
capabilities to subsystem otherwise not BPF capable.
When we add kfuncs capabilities to those program types, we can add
BPF features to subsystems without having to touch BPF core.

changes in v5:
- also add syscalls

new in v4:
- I think this is where I need to add my new kfuncs, though
in the end I need to be able to change the incoming data, so
maybe only fmod_ret is the one we need to be able to be RW.
