Add a watchdog timer to bpf qdisc. The watchdog can be used to schedule
the execution of qdisc through kfunc, bpf_qdisc_schedule(). It can be
useful for building traffic shaping scheduling algorithm, where the time
the next packet will be dequeued is known.
The implementation relies on struct_ops gen_prologue/epilogue to patch bpf
programs provided by users. Operator specific prologue/epilogue kfuncs
are introduced instead of watchdog kfuncs so that it is easier to extend
prologue/epilogue in the future (writing C vs BPF bytecode).
