bpf: Add probe_read_{user, kernel} and probe_read_{user, kernel}_str helpers
The current bpf_probe_read() and bpf_probe_read_str() helpers are broken in that they assume they can be used for probing memory access for kernel space addresses /as well as/ user space addresses. However, plain use of probe_kernel_read() for both cases will attempt to always access kernel space address space given access is performed under KERNEL_DS and some archs in-fact have overlapping address spaces where a kernel pointer and user pointer would have the /same/ address value and therefore accessing application memory via bpf_probe_read{,_str}() would read garbage values. Lets fix BPF side by making use of recently added 3d7081822f7f ("uaccess: Add non-pagefault user-space read functions"). Unfortunately, the only way to fix this status quo is to add dedicated bpf_probe_read_{user,kernel}() and bpf_probe_read_{user,kernel}_str() helpers. The bpf_probe_read{,_str}() helpers are kept as-is to retain their current behavior. The two *_user() variants attempt the access always under USER_DS set, the two *_kernel() variants will -EFAULT when accessing user memory if the underlying architecture has non-overlapping address ranges, also avoiding throwing the kernel warning via 00c42373d397 ("x86-64: add warning for non-canonical user access address dereferences").
