bpf: Introduce bpf_cgroup_read_xattr to read xattr of cgroup's node
BPF programs, such as LSM and sched_ext, would benefit from tags on
cgroups. One common practice to apply such tags is to set xattrs on
cgroupfs folders.

Introduce kfunc bpf_cgroup_read_xattr, which allows reading cgroup's
xattr.

Note that, we already have bpf_get_[file|dentry]_xattr. However, these
two APIs are not ideal for reading cgroupfs xattrs, because:

  1) These two APIs only works in sleepable contexts;
  2) There is no kfunc that matches current cgroup to cgroupfs dentry.

bpf_cgroup_read_xattr is generic and can be useful for many program
types. It is also safe, because it requires trusted or rcu protected
argument (KF_RCU). Therefore, we make it available to all program types.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
