BPF struct_ops programs currently cannot be marked as sleepable. This
need not be the case -- struct_ops programs could be sleepable, and e.g.
invoke kfuncs that export the KF_SLEEPABLE flag. So as to allow future
struct_ops programs to invoke such kfuncs, this patch updates the
verifier to allow struct_ops programs to be sleepable. A follow-on patch
will update the dummy_st_ops selftest suite to also validate sleepable
struct_ops behavior.
