Drop __rcu annotations and rcu read sections from bpf_prog_array
helper functions. They are not needed since all existing callers
call those helpers from the rcu update side while holding a mutex.
This guarantees that use-after-free could not happen.
In the next patches I'll fix the callers with missing
rcu_dereference_protected to make sparse/lockdep happy, the proper
way to use these helpers is:
struct bpf_prog_array __rcu *progs = ...;
struct bpf_prog_array *p;
mutex_lock(&mtx);
p = rcu_dereference_protected(progs, lockdep_is_held(&mtx));
bpf_prog_array_length(p);
bpf_prog_array_copy_to_user(p, ...);
bpf_prog_array_delete_safe(p, ...);
bpf_prog_array_copy_info(p, ...);
bpf_prog_array_copy(p, ...);
bpf_prog_array_free(p);
mutex_unlock(&mtx);
No functional changes! rcu_dereference_protected with lockdep_is_held
should catch any cases where we update prog array without a mutex
(I've looked at existing call sites and I think we hold a mutex
everywhere).
Motivation is to fix sparse warnings:
kernel/bpf/core.c:1803:9: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)

v2:
* remove comment about potential race; that can't happen
because all callers are in rcu-update section
