Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi ac9f06050a bpf: Introduce bpf_obj_drop
Introduce bpf_obj_drop, which is the kfunc used to free allocated
objects (allocated using bpf_obj_new). Pairing with bpf_obj_new, it
implicitly destructs the fields part of object automatically without
user intervention.

Just like the previous patch, btf_struct_meta that is needed to free up
the special fields is passed as a hidden argument to the kfunc.

For the user, a convenience macro hides over the kernel side kfunc which
is named bpf_obj_drop_impl.

Continuing the previous example:

void prog(void) {
	struct foo *f;

	f = bpf_obj_new(typeof(*f));
	if (!f)
		return;
	bpf_obj_drop(f);
}
