In some profiler use cases, it is necessary to map an address to the
backing file, e.g., a shared library. bpf_find_vma helper provides a
flexible way to achieve this. bpf_find_vma maps an address of a task to
the vma (vm_area_struct) for this address, and feed the vma to an callback
BPF function. The callback function is necessary here, as we need to
ensure mmap_sem is unlocked.

It is necessary to lock mmap_sem for find_vma. To lock and unlock mmap_sem
safely when irqs are disable, we use the same mechanism as stackmap with
build_id. Specifically, when irqs are disabled, the unlocked is postponed
in an irq_work. Refactor stackmap.c so that the irq_work is shared among
bpf_find_vma and stackmap helpers.

I found that when a BPF program attach to security_file_open which is in
the bpf_d_path helper's allowlist, the bpf_d_path helper is also allowed
to be called inside the callback function. So we can have this in callback
function:

    bpf_d_path(&vma->vm_file->f_path, path, sizeof(path));


I wonder whether there is a guarantee that vma->vm_file will never be null,
as you said in the commit message, a backing file.

I don't think we can guarantee vma->vm_file never be NULL here, so this is
a real problem. Let me see how to fix it.

It's unrelated. There was a separate thread about this.
