Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 1/4] bpf: Allow BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS programs to be sleepable

BPF struct_ops programs currently cannot be marked as sleepable. This
need not be the case -- struct_ops programs can be sleepable, and e.g.
invoke kfuncs that export the KF_SLEEPABLE flag. So as to allow future
struct_ops programs to invoke such kfuncs, this patch updates the
verifier to allow struct_ops programs to be sleepable. A follow-on patch
will add support to libbpf for specifying struct_ops.s as a sleepable
struct_ops program, and then another patch will add testcases to the
dummy_st_ops selftest suite which test sleepable struct_ops behavior.
