Similar to ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR for BPF helpers, KF_ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR
specifies kfunc args that point to const strings. Annotation "__str" is
used to specify kfunc arg of type KF_ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR. Also, add
documentation for the "__str" annotation.
bpf_get_file_xattr() will be the first kfunc that uses this type.

+2.2.5 __str Annotation
+----------------------------
+This annotation is used to indicate that the argument is a constant string.
+
+An example is given below::
+
+ __bpf_kfunc bpf_get_file_xattr(..., const char *name__str, ...)
+ {
+ ...
+ }
+
+In this case, ``bpf_get_file_xattr()`` can be called as::
+
+ bpf_get_file_xattr(..., "xattr_name", ...);
+
+Or::
+
+ const char name[] = "xattr_name"; /* This need to be global */
+ int BPF_PROG(...)
+ {
+ ...
+ bpf_get_file_xattr(..., name, ...);
+ ...
+ }
