bpf: Delay freeing fields in local storage
Currently, when use_kmalloc_nolock is false, the freeing of fields for a local storage selem is done eagerly before waiting for the RCU or RCU tasks trace grace period to elapse. This opens up a window where the program which has access to the selem can recreate the fields after the freeing of fields is done eagerly, causing memory leaks when the element is finally freed and returned to the kernel. Make a few changes to address this. First, delay the freeing of fields until after the grace periods have expired using a __bpf_selem_free_rcu wrapper which is eventually invoked after transitioning through the necessary number of grace period waits. Replace usage of the kfree_rcu with call_rcu to be able to take a custom callback. Finally, care needs to be taken to extend the rcu barriers for all cases, and not just when use_kmalloc_nolock is true, as RCU and RCU tasks trace callbacks can be in flight for either case and access the smap field, which is used to obtain the BTF record to walk over special fields in the map value. While we're at it, drop migrate_disable() from bpf_selem_free_rcu, since migration should be disabled for RCU callbacks already.
