Merge branch 'add support for writable bare tracepoint'

Hi,
The patchset series supports writable context for bare tracepoint.
The main idea comes from patchset "writable contexts for bpf raw
tracepoints" [1], but it only supports normal tracepoint with
associated trace event under tracefs. Now we have one use case
in which we add bare tracepoint in VFS layer, and update
file::f_mode for specific files. The reason using bare tracepoint
is that it doesn't form a ABI and we can change it freely. So
add support for it in BPF.
Comments are always welcome.
