Yonghong Song fd264ca020 bpf: Add a kfunc to type cast from bpf uapi ctx to kernel ctx ...

Implement bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx() kfunc which does a type cast
of a uapi ctx object to the corresponding kernel ctx. Previously
if users want to access some data available in kctx but not
in uapi ctx, bpf_probe_read_kernel() helper is needed.
The introduction of bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx() allows direct
memory access which makes code simpler and easier to understand.
