Subject: [PATCH] tracing/user_events: Add eBPF interface for user_event created events

Send user_event data to attached eBPF programs for user_event based perf
events.

Add BPF_ITER flag to allow user_event data to have a zero copy path into
eBPF programs if required.

Update documentation to describe new flags and structures for eBPF
integration.

+EBPF programs that attach to a user-based event tracepoint are given a pointer
