hid: bpf: hid_bpf_helpers: add helper for having read/write udev properties

We want udev-hid-bpf to be able to set udev properties by printing them
out after the BPF object has been loaded. This allows to make a query to
the device, and set a udev prop based on the answer.

Because the way udev works, the properties are cleared on bind/unbind,
and we need a way to store them. After several attempts to keep the
property alive without re-running the udev-hid-bpf tool to communicate
with the device, it came out that HID-BPF maps are pinned in the bpffs
and we can then query them.

So the following would export a UDEV property in the bpffs:
   EXPORT_UDEV_PROP(HID_FOO, 32);

   SEC("syscall")
   int probe(struct hid_bpf_probe_args *ctx)
   {
     const char *foo = "foo";
     UDEV_PROP_SPRINTF(HID_FOO, "%s", foo);

     return 0;
   }

Then, we can debug it with a simple cat:
   sudo cat /sys/fs/bpf/hid/.../UDEV_PROP_HID_FOO
0: {['f','o','o',],}

This way, the property is always accessible without talking to the
device

/*
* The following macros are helpers for exporting udev properties:
*
* EXPORT_UDEV_PROP(name, len) generates:
* - a map with a single element UDEV_PROP_##name, of size len
* - a const global declaration of that len: SIZEOF_##name
*
* udev_prop_ptr(name) retrieves the data pointer behind the map.
*
* UDEV_PROP_SPRINTF(name, fmt, ...) writes data into the udev property.
*
* Can be used as such:
* EXPORT_UDEV_PROP(HID_FOO, 32);
*
* SEC("syscall")
* int probe(struct hid_bpf_probe_args *ctx)
* {
* const char *foo = "foo";
* UDEV_PROP_SPRINTF(HID_FOO, "%s", foo);
*
* return 0;
* }
