YiFei Zhu b44123b4a3 bpf: Add cgroup helpers bpf_{get,set}_retval to get/set syscall return value
The helpers continue to use int for retval because all the hooks
are int-returning rather than long-returning. The return value of
bpf_set_retval is int for future-proofing, in case in the future
there may be errors trying to set the retval.

After the previous patch, if a program rejects a syscall by
returning 0, an -EPERM will be generated no matter if the retval
is already set to -err. This patch change it being forced only if
retval is not -err. This is because we want to support, for
example, invoking bpf_set_retval(-EINVAL) and return 0, and have
the syscall return value be -EINVAL not -EPERM.

For BPF_PROG_CGROUP_INET_EGRESS_RUN_ARRAY, the prior behavior is
that, if the return value is NET_XMIT_DROP, the packet is silently
dropped. We preserve this behavior for backward compatibility
reasons, so even if an errno is set, the errno does not return to
caller. However, setting a non-err to retval cannot propagate so
this is not allowed and we return a -EFAULT in that case.

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 Restructured Text 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.
