BPF is used in several kernel components. This split creates logical boundary
between generic eBPF core and the rest
kernel/bpf/core.c: eBPF interpreter
net/core/filter.c: classic->eBPF converter, classic verifiers, socket filters
This patch only moves functions.

But this still requires CONFIG_NET to use bpf. Why not adding
CONFIG_BPF and making CONFIG_NET selects it?
Thanks,
