Alexei Starovoitov abf2e7d6e2 bpf: add missing rcu protection when releasing programs from prog_array
Normally the program attachment place (like sockets, qdiscs) takes
care of rcu protection and calls bpf_prog_put() after a grace period.
The programs stored inside prog_array may not be attached anywhere,
so prog_array needs to take care of preserving rcu protection.
Otherwise bpf_tail_call() will race with bpf_prog_put().
To solve that introduce bpf_prog_put_rcu() helper function and use
it in 3 places where unattached program can decrement refcnt:
closing program fd, deleting/replacing program in prog_array.

Fixes: 04fd61ab36 ("bpf: allow bpf programs to tail-call other bpf programs")
