[PATCH bpf-next 2/3] bpf: Remove bpf_cgroup_kptr_get() kfunc

From: David Vernet
Date: Tue Apr 11 2023 - 00:16:47 EST


Now that bpf_cgroup_acquire() is KF_RCU | KF_RET_NULL,
bpf_cgroup_kptr_get() is redundant. Let's remove it, and update
selftests to instead use bpf_cgroup_acquire() where appropriate. The
next patch will update the BPF documentation to not mention
bpf_cgroup_kptr_get().
