A busy irq work is an unfinished irq work and it can be either in the
pending state or in the running state. When destroying bpf memory
allocator, refill_work may be busy for PREEMPT_RT kernel in which irq
work is invoked in a per-CPU RT-kthread. It is also possible for kernel
with arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() being false (e.g. 1-cpu arm32 host)
and irq work is inovked in timer interrupt.
The busy refill_work leads to various issues. The obvious one is that
there will be concurrent operations on free_by_rcu and free_list between
irq work and memory draining. Another one is call_rcu_in_progress will
not be reliable for the checking of pending RCU callback because
do_call_rcu() may has not been invoked by irq work. The other is there
will be use-after-free if irq work is freed before the callback of
irq work is invoked as shown below:

Considering the ease of concurrency handling and the short wait time
used for irq_work_sync() under PREEMPT_RT (When running two test_maps on
PREEMPT_RT kernel and 72-cpus host, the max wait time is about 8ms and
the 99th percentile is 10us), just waiting for busy refill_work to
complete before memory draining and memory freeing.
