bpf: Give vmlinux BTF init its own mutex

bpf_get_btf_vmlinux() serializes the lazy vmlinux BTF parse with
bpf_verifier_lock, the same mutex bpf_check() holds across the whole
verification of an unprivileged program (if enabled; it's disabled
by default). The latter can potentially stall the mutex holder for
a long time (e.g. via userfaultfd), and therefore block first-time
bpf_get_btf_vmlinux() caller from any context, including privileged
program loads.

Give the vmlinux BTF initialization a dedicated btf_vmlinux_lock so
it is independent of the unprivileged verification mutex. The parse
only needs mutual exclusion against itself.
