[RFC nf-next v1 1/2] netfilter: bpf: support prog update

["D. Wythe" <alibuda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

To support the prog update, we need to ensure that the prog seen
within the hook is always valid. Considering that hooks are always
protected by rcu_read_lock(), which provide us the ability to
access the prog under rcu.
