bpf: Introduce bpf_obj_drop
Introduce bpf_obj_drop, which is the kfunc used to free allocated
objects (allocated using bpf_obj_new). Pairing with bpf_obj_new, it
implicitly destructs the fields part of object automatically without
user intervention.
Just like the previous patch, btf_struct_meta that is needed to free up
the special fields is passed as a hidden argument to the kfunc.
For the user, a convenience macro hides over the kernel side kfunc which
is named bpf_obj_drop_impl.
Continuing the previous example:
void prog(void) {
struct foo *f;
f = bpf_obj_new(typeof(*f));
if (!f)
return;
bpf_obj_drop(f);
}
