Add support for the new field relocation kinds, necessary to support relocatable bitfield reads. Provide macro for abstracting necessary code doing full relocatable bitfield extraction into u64 value. Two separate macros are provided: - BPF_CORE_READ_BITFIELD macro for direct memory read-enabled BPF programs (e.g., typed raw tracepoints). It uses direct memory dereference to extract bitfield backing integer value. - BPF_CORE_READ_BITFIELD_PROBED macro for cases where bpf_probe_read() needs to be used to extract same backing integer value.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
