Remove -&gt;sendpage() and -&gt;sendpage_locked().  sendmsg() with
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES should be used instead.  This allows multiple pages and
multipage folios to be passed through.

<content type='text'>
We recently added the bpf_cpumask_first_and() kfunc, and changed
bpf_cpumask_any() / bpf_cpumask_any_and() to
bpf_cpumask_any_distribute() and bpf_cpumask_any_distribute_and()
respectively. This patch adds an entry for the bpf_cpumask_first_and()
kfunc, and updates the documentation for the *any* kfuncs to the new
names.

bpf_dynptr_slice(_rw) uses a user provided buffer if it can not provide
a pointer to a block of contiguous memory. This buffer is unused in the
case of local dynptrs, and may be unused in other cases as well. There
is no need to require the buffer, as the kfunc can just return NULL if
it was needed and not provided.

This adds another kfunc annotation, __opt, which combines with __sz and
__szk to allow the buffer associated with the size to be NULL. If the
buffer is NULL, the verifier does not check that the buffer is of
sufficient size.
