When using error-injection function through bpf to change the return
code, we need to know if the function is sleepable or not.

Currently the code assumes that all error-inject functions are sleepable,
except for a few selected of them, hardcoded in kernel/bpf/verifier.c

Add a new flag to error-inject so we can code that information where the
function is declared.

new in v4:
- another approach would be to define a new kfunc_set, and register
  it with btf. But in that case, what program type would we use?
  BPF_PROG_TYPE_UNSPEC?
- also note that maybe we should consider all of the functions
  non-sleepable and only mark some as sleepable. IMO it makes more
  sense to be more restrictive by default.

I think the approach in this patch is fine.
We didn't have issues with check_non_sleepable_error_inject() so far,
so I wouldn't start refactoring it.

It's a linear search. Probably ok. But would be good to double check
that we're not calling it a lot.

OK... though I can't help but thinking that adding a new
error-inject.h enum value is going to be bad, because it's an API
change, and users might not expect NS_ERRNO.

OTOH, if we had a new kfunc_set, we keep the existing error-inject API
in place with all the variants and we just teach the verifier that the
function is non sleepable.

IIUC, the kfunc_set approach would solve that, no?

Not sure about api concern. This is the kernel internal tag.
bpf progs are not aware of them. The functions can change
from sleepable to non-sleepable too.
allow_error_inject can be removed. And so on.

Makes sense. Let's figure out an extensible kfunc_set approach
that is not centralized in verifier.c

OK, I'll work on this in v5.

But I need to rethink the whole sleepable/non-sleepable definitions
for my use case, because I have now a clear separation between not
sleepable context (in fentry/fexit/fmod_ret) and sleepable context (in
SEC("syscall")), so maybe the whole thing is not really required.

Cheers,
Benjamin
