The one in vfs_read.

Sorry, I will make the commit message clearer in the next version.

The sequence on CPU 0 is for normal read(2) on iterator.
For CPU 1, it is an io_uring instance trying to do same on iterator attached to
itself.

So CPU 0 does

sys_read
vfs_read
 bpf_seq_read
 mutex_lock(&seq_file->lock)    # A
  io_uring_buf_seq_start
  mutex_lock(&ctx->uring_lock)  # B

and CPU 1 does

io_uring_enter
mutex_lock(&ctx->uring_lock)    # B
 io_read
  bpf_seq_read
  mutex_lock(&seq_file->lock)   # A
  ...

Since the order of locks is opposite, it can deadlock. So I switched the
mutex_lock in io_uring_buf_seq_start to trylock, so it can return an error for
this case, then it will release seq_file->lock and CPU 1 will make progress.

The second problem without use of trylock is described below (for same case of
io_uring reading from iterator attached to itself).

Let me know if I missed something.

Ack, but some questions:

What should it have? e.g. it easy to go from map_id to map fd if one wants
access to the map attached to the iterator, but not sure how one can obtain more
information about target fd from io_uring or epoll iterators.

Should I delegate to their show_fdinfo and dump using that?

The type/target is already available in link_info, not sure what other useful
information can be added there, which allows obtaining the io_uring/epoll fd.

So the reason I didn't use a union was the link->aux.map check in
bpf_iter.c::__get_seq_info. Even if we switch to union bpf_iter_aux_info, it
needs some way to determine whether link is for map type, so maybe a string
comparison there? Leaving it out of union felt cleaner, also I move both
io_ring_ctx and eventpoll file into a union in later patch.
