[bpf-next,0/2] bpf: Add kfuncs for read-only string operations

Message

Kernel contains highly optimised implementation of traditional string
operations. Expose them as kfuncs to allow BPF programs leverage the
kernel implementation instead of needing to reimplement the operations.

These will be very helpful to bpftrace as it now needs to implement all
the string operations in LLVM IR.
