This adds a helper for bpf programs to read the memory of other
tasks. This also adds the ability for bpf iterator programs to
be sleepable.

This changes `bpf_iter_run_prog` to use the appropriate synchronization for
sleepable bpf programs. With sleepable bpf iterator programs, we can no
longer use `rcu_read_lock()` and must use `rcu_read_lock_trace()` instead
to protect the bpf program.

As an example use case at Meta, we are using a bpf task iterator program
and this new helper to print C++ async stack traces for all threads of
a given process.

I think this sleepable bpf_iter change deserves its own patch. It has
nothing to do with bpf_copy_from_user_task() helper.

Without the above change, using bpf_copy_from_user_task() will trigger rcu warning and may produce incorrect result. One option is to put the above in a preparation patch before introducing bpf_copy_from_user_task() so we won't have bisecting issues.


         /* bpf program can only return 0 or 1:
          *  0 : okay
