Currently, the pointer stored in call->prog_array is loaded in
__uprobe_perf_func(), with no RCU annotation and no immediately visible
RCU protection, so it looks as if the loaded pointer can immediately be
dangling.
Later, bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe() starts a RCU-trace read-side critical
section, but this is too late. It then uses rcu_dereference_check(), but
this use of rcu_dereference_check() does not actually dereference anything.
Fix it by aligning the semantics to bpf_prog_run_array(): Let the caller
provide rcu_read_lock_trace() protection and then load call->prog_array
with rcu_dereference_check().
This issue seems to be theoretical: I don't know of any way to reach this
code without having handle_swbp() further up the stack, which is already
holding a rcu_read_lock_trace() lock, so where we take
rcu_read_lock_trace() in __uprobe_perf_func()/bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe()
doesn't actually have any effect.
