bpf: Expose a bpf_sock_from_file helper to tracing programs

eBPF programs can already check whether a file is a socket using
file->f_op == &socket_file_ops but they can not convert file->private_data
into a struct socket with BTF information. For that, we need a new
helper that is essentially just a wrapper for sock_from_file.

sock_from_file can set an err value but this is only set to -ENOTSOCK
when the return value is NULL so it's useless superfluous information.
