This patch adds bpf_sk_storage_get() and bpf_sk_storage_delete()
helper to the bpf_tcp_ca's struct_ops. That would allow
bpf-tcp-cc to:
1) share sk private data with other bpf progs.
2) use bpf_sk_storage as a private storage for a bpf-tcp-cc
if the existing icsk_ca_priv is not big enough.

The bpf_struct_ops tcp-cc name should be sanitized in order to
avoid problematic chars (e.g. whitespaces).
This patch reuses the bpf_obj_name_cpy() for accepting the same set
of characters in order to keep a consistent bpf programming experience.
A "size" param is added. Also, the strlen is returned on success so
that the caller (like the bpf_tcp_ca here) can error out on empty name.
The existing callers of the bpf_obj_name_cpy() only need to change the
testing statement to "if (err < 0)". For all these existing callers,
the err will be overwritten later, so no extra change is needed
for the new strlen return value.
v3:
- reverse xmas tree style
v2:
- Save the orig_src to avoid "end - size" (Andrii)

Add a helper to send out a tcp-ack. It will be used in the later
bpf_dctcp implementation that requires to send out an ack
when the CE state changed.

This patch makes "struct tcp_congestion_ops" to be the first user
of BPF STRUCT_OPS. It allows implementing a tcp_congestion_ops
in bpf.
The BPF implemented tcp_congestion_ops can be used like
regular kernel tcp-cc through sysctl and setsockopt. e.g.
[root@arch-fb-vm1 bpf]# sysctl -a | egrep congestion
net.ipv4.tcp_allowed_congestion_control = reno cubic bpf_cubic
net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control = reno bic cubic bpf_cubic
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control = bpf_cubic
There has been attempt to move the TCP CC to the user space
(e.g. CCP in TCP). The common arguments are faster turn around,
get away from long-tail kernel versions in production...etc,
which are legit points.
BPF has been the continuous effort to join both kernel and
userspace upsides together (e.g. XDP to gain the performance
advantage without bypassing the kernel). The recent BPF
advancements (in particular BTF-aware verifier, BPF trampoline,
BPF CO-RE...) made implementing kernel struct ops (e.g. tcp cc)
possible in BPF. It allows a faster turnaround for testing algorithm
in the production while leveraging the existing (and continue growing)
BPF feature/framework instead of building one specifically for
userspace TCP CC.
This patch allows write access to a few fields in tcp-sock
(in bpf_tcp_ca_btf_struct_access()).
The optional "get_info" is unsupported now. It can be added
later. One possible way is to output the info with a btf-id
to describe the content.
