I'm planning to add syscall common attrs support for LINK_CREATE cmd.

This is the first series for the plan, that adds syscall common attrs
support for xdp LINK_CREATE.

Thereafter, retire the tracepoint bpf_xdp_link_attach_failed, because
the underlying driver's error can be back-propagated to user space via
the syscall common attrs.

Changes:
v4 -> v5:
* Pass extack instead of errmsg pointer to bpf_xdp_link_attach(). (Alexei)
* Move cmd as first argument in __sys_bpf_fd() helper. (bot+bpf-ci)
* v4: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20261024153608.58569-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev/

v3 -> v4:
* Pass errmsg pointer to bpf_xdp_link_attach(). (Jakub)
* Place log_opts at the slot of iter_info in libbpf. (Andrii)
* v3: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20261020152804.39863-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev/

v2 -> v3:
* Drop bpf_log_attr_report_size() helper. (Alexei)
* Drop 2nd write for log_true_size and the put_prog label. (Alexei)
* v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20261019153628.15912-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev/

v1 -> v2:
* Add log for invalid prog type in link_create().
* Reject log_opts for fallback bpf_raw_tracepoint_open() in libbpf.
* Report log_true_size as 0 before creating concrete link, and report
  the actual log_true_size when fail to create the concrete link.
  (Sashiko)
* Add stub bpf_log() when CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL is not set. (bots)
* Check 'extack._msg' before adding 'extack._msg' to log buffer.
  (Sashiko, bot+bpf-ci)
* Change __bpf_sys_fd to __sys_bpf_fd in the subject and body of
  patch 4. (bot+bpf-ci)
* Move OPTS_VALID(opts, bpf_link_create_opts) to __sys_bpf_fd(). (Sashiko)
* Move bpf_link_create_log to the LIBBPF_1.9.0 section. (Sashiko)
* Update patch msg with a concrete case in patch 5. (bot+bpf-ci)
* Factor out helpers to simplify the tests code. (bot+bpf-ci)
* v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20261017142649.51047-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev/

Similar to the syscall common attrs support for map_create [1], add the
syscall common attrs support for link_create.

Create and finalize the internal verifier log instance.

Then, report the error messages for invalid prog fd, invalid attach type,
and invalid prog type.

With the syscall common attrs support for link_create, add syscall common
attrs support for xdp link_create in order to report the invalid target
ifindex error and the underlying driver's error.

Instead of passing bpf log to bpf_xdp_link_attach(), pass an extack to
receive the underlying driver's error message. If pass bpf log to
bpf_xdp_link_attach(), it will introduce bpf_verifier.h dependency for
net/core/dev.c, which is not acceptable for maintainability.

In the previous patch, it has a proper way to back-propagate the
underlying driver error message to user space via the BPF syscall common
attributes.

The tracepoint bpf_xdp_link_attach_failed seems redundant to report the
error message. And, the tracepoint doesn't report the ifindex alongside
the error message [1].

So, retire the tracepoint bpf_xdp_link_attach_failed and its selftest.

According to the tracepoint change discussion [2], please revert this
patch if users complain about the disappeared tracepoint
bpf_xdp_link_attach_failed in the future.

In the next patch, it also needs to use the extended BPF syscall to
receive the reported log.

So, factor out __sys_bpf_fd helper.

No functional changes intended.

Since the iter_info and iter_info_len in struct bpf_link_create_opts are
legacy, reuse the slot of iter_info to place log_opts.

When adding log_opts support for iter link_create in the future, we will
move the iter_info and iter_info_len to the last union, see below. And,
keep the backward compatibility meanwhile, that uses iter_info if
iter_info_len is set.

struct bpf_link_create_opts {
	/* ... */
	union {
		/* ... */
		strut {
			struct bpf_iter_link_info *info;
			__u32 len;
		} iter;
	};
};
