Merge branch 'link_detach'

Andrii Nakryiko says:

====================
This patch set adds new BPF link operation, LINK_DETACH, allowing processes
with BPF link FD to force-detach it from respective BPF hook, similarly how
BPF link is auto-detached when such BPF hook (e.g., cgroup, net_device, netns,
etc) is removed. This facility allows admin to forcefully undo BPF link
attachment, while process that created BPF link in the first place is left
intact.

Once force-detached, BPF link stays valid in the kernel as long as there is at
least one FD open against it. It goes into defunct state, just like
auto-detached BPF link.

bpftool also got `link detach` command to allow triggering this in
non-programmatic fashion.

v1->v2:
- improve error reporting in `bpftool link detach` (Song).
