[PATCH bpf-next 1/5] bpf: Free struct bpf_cpumask in call_rcu handler

[David Vernet <void@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The struct bpf_cpumask type uses the bpf_mem_cache_{alloc,free}() APIs
to allocate and free its cpumasks. The bpf_mem allocator may currently
immediately reuse some memory when its freed, without waiting for an RCU
read cycle to elapse. We want to be able to treat struct bpf_cpumask
objects as completely RCU safe.

This is necessary for two reasons:

1. bpf_cpumask_kptr_get() currently does an RCU-protected
   refcnt_inc_not_zero(). This of course assumes that the underlying
   memory is not reused, and is therefore unsafe in its current form.

2. We want to be able to get rid of bpf_cpumask_kptr_get() entirely, and
   intead use the superior kptr RCU semantics now afforded by the
   verifier.

This patch fixes (1), and enables (2), by making struct bpf_cpumask RCU
safe. A subsequent patch will update the verifier to allow struct
bpf_cpumask * pointers to be passed to KF_RCU kfuncs, and then a latter
patch will remove bpf_cpumask_kptr_get().

Fixes: 516f4d3397c9 ("bpf: Enable cpumasks to be queried and used as kptrs")
