[PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpf: add btf_task_get_cgroup_id kfunc

[Jose Fernandez]

This patch enhances the BPF helpers by adding a kfunc to retrieve the
cgroup v2 ID of a specific task, addressing a previous limitation where
only bpf_task_get_cgroup1 was available for cgroup v1. The new kfunc is
particularly useful for scenarios where obtaining the cgroup ID of a
task other than the "current" one is necessary, which the existing
bpf_get_current_cgroup_id helper cannot accommodate. A specific use case
at Netflix involved the sched_switch tracepoint, where we had to get
the cgroup IDs of both the previous and next tasks.

The bpf_task_get_cgroup_id kfunc returns a task's cgroup ID, correctly
implementing RCU read locking and unlocking for safe data access, and
leverages existing cgroup.h helpers to fetch the cgroup and its ID.
