<title>bpf: Allow uprobe program to change context registers</title>

Currently uprobe (BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE) program can't write to the
context registers data. While this makes sense for kprobe attachments,
for uprobe attachment it might make sense to be able to change user
space registers to alter application execution.

Since uprobe and kprobe programs share the same type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE),
we can't deny write access to context during the program load. We need
to check on it during program attachment to see if it's going to be
kprobe or uprobe.

Storing the program's write attempt to context and checking on it
during the attachment.

Graph tracer framework ensures we won't migrate, kprobe_multi_link_prog_run
called all the way from graph tracer, which disables preemption in
function_graph_enter_regs, as Jiri and Yonghong suggested, there is no
need to use migrate_disable. As a result, some overhead may will be reduced.
And add cant_sleep check for __this_cpu_inc_return.

Attach_type will be set when a link is created by user. It is better to
record attach_type in bpf_link generically and have it available
universally for all link types. So add the attach_type field in bpf_link
and move the sleepable field to avoid unnecessary gap padding.

Alexei suggested, 'link_type' can be more precise and differentiate
for human in fdinfo. In fact BPF_LINK_TYPE_KPROBE_MULTI includes
kretprobe_multi type, the same as BPF_LINK_TYPE_UPROBE_MULTI, so we
can show it more concretely.
