what is it for?
It's not used out of modules.

it doesn't have to be bpf_spin_lock.
Normal spin_lock will do.
bpf_spin_lock has specific size requirement, so when it's used inside
map value the value size doesn't change from kernel to kernel.
Since this lock is hidden it can be any lock.

Also it needs to remember current task or something.
Just spin_is_locked() from bpf_rbtree_add() is not enough.
Instead of remembering current we can pass hidden 'prog' pointer
and remember that in bpf_rbtree_lock.
Also pass that hidden prog ptr to add/remove/find and compare.
But probably overkill. Current task should be fine.
