Applied to bpf-next. Thanks.

I think it sets up a great base to parallelize further work.

1. I'm rebasing my sleepable BPF patches on top.
It's necessary to read enviroment variables without the
'opportunistic copy before hand' hack I saw in your github tree
to do bpf_get_env_var() helper.

2. please continue on LSM_HOOK patches to go via security tree.

3. we need a volunteer to generalize bpf_sk_storage to task and inode structs.
This work will be super useful for all bpf tracing too.
Sleepable progs are useful for tracing as well.
