clean up names related to socket filtering and bpf in the following way:
- everything that deals with sockets keeps 'sk_*' prefix
- everything that is pure BPF is changed to 'bpf_*' prefix

split 'struct sk_filter' into
struct sk_filter {
	atomic_t        refcnt;
	struct rcu_head rcu;
	struct bpf_prog *prog;
};
and
struct bpf_prog {
        u32                     jited:1,
                                len:31;
        struct sock_fprog_kern  *orig_prog;
        unsigned int            (*bpf_func)(const struct sk_buff *skb,
                                            const struct bpf_insn *filter);
        union {
                struct sock_filter      insns[0];
                struct bpf_insn         insnsi[0];
                struct work_struct      work;
        };
};
so that 'struct bpf_prog' can be used independent of sockets and cleans up
'unattached' bpf use cases

split SK_RUN_FILTER macro into:
    SK_RUN_FILTER to be used with 'struct sk_filter *' and
    BPF_PROG_RUN to be used with 'struct bpf_prog *'

__sk_filter_release(struct sk_filter *) gains
__bpf_prog_release(struct bpf_prog *) helper function

also perform related renames for the functions that work
with 'struct bpf_prog *', since they're on the same lines:

sk_filter_size -&gt; bpf_prog_size
sk_filter_select_runtime -&gt; bpf_prog_select_runtime
sk_filter_free -&gt; bpf_prog_free
sk_unattached_filter_create -&gt; bpf_prog_create
sk_unattached_filter_destroy -&gt; bpf_prog_destroy
sk_store_orig_filter -&gt; bpf_prog_store_orig_filter
sk_release_orig_filter -&gt; bpf_release_orig_filter
__sk_migrate_filter -&gt; bpf_migrate_filter
__sk_prepare_filter -&gt; bpf_prepare_filter

API for attaching classic BPF to a socket stays the same:
sk_attach_filter(prog, struct sock *)/sk_detach_filter(struct sock *)
and SK_RUN_FILTER(struct sk_filter *, ctx) to execute a program
which is used by sockets, tun, af_packet

API for 'unattached' BPF programs becomes:
bpf_prog_create(struct bpf_prog **)/bpf_prog_destroy(struct bpf_prog *)
and BPF_PROG_RUN(struct bpf_prog *, ctx) to execute a program
which is used by isdn, ppp, team, seccomp, ptp, xt_bpf, cls_bpf, test_bpf

attaching bpf program to a socket involves multiple socket memory arithmetic,
since size of 'sk_filter' is changing when classic BPF is converted to eBPF.
Also common path of program creation has to deal with two ways of freeing
the memory.

Simplify the code by delaying socket charging until program is ready and
its size is known

load_pointer() is already a static inline function.
Let's move it into filter.h so BPF JIT implementations can reuse this
function.

Since we're exporting this function, let's also rename it to
bpf_load_pointer() for clarity.

<title>net: filter: cleanup A/X name usage</title>

The macro 'A' used in internal BPF interpreter:
 #define A regs[insn-&gt;a_reg]
was easily confused with the name of classic BPF register 'A', since
'A' would mean two different things depending on context.

This patch is trying to clean up the naming and clarify its usage in the
following way:

- A and X are names of two classic BPF registers

- BPF_REG_A denotes internal BPF register R0 used to map classic register A
  in internal BPF programs generated from classic

- BPF_REG_X denotes internal BPF register R7 used to map classic register X
  in internal BPF programs generated from classic

- internal BPF instruction format:
struct sock_filter_int {
        __u8    code;           /* opcode */
        __u8    dst_reg:4;      /* dest register */
        __u8    src_reg:4;      /* source register */
        __s16   off;            /* signed offset */
        __s32   imm;            /* signed immediate constant */
};

- BPF_X/BPF_K is 1 bit used to encode source operand of instruction
In classic:
  BPF_X - means use register X as source operand
  BPF_K - means use 32-bit immediate as source operand
In internal:
  BPF_X - means use 'src_reg' register as source operand
  BPF_K - means use 32-bit immediate as source operand

Commit 9739eef13c92 ("net: filter: make BPF conversion more readable")
started to introduce helper macros similar to BPF_STMT()/BPF_JUMP()
macros from classic BPF.

However, quite some statements in the filter conversion functions
remained in the old style which gives a mixture of block macros and
non block macros in the code. This patch makes the block macros itself
more readable by using explicit member initialization, and converts
the remaining ones where possible to remain in a more consistent state.
