I still got report about leaked free_by_rcu_ttrace without adding any
extra hack except using bpf_mem_cache_free_rcu() in htab.

When bpf ma is freed through free_mem_alloc(), the following sequence
may lead to leak of free_by_rcu_ttrace:

P1: bpf_mem_alloc_destroy()
    P2: __free_by_rcu()

    // got false
    P2: read c->draining

P1: c->draining = true
P1: llist_del_all(&c->free_by_rcu_ttrace)

    // add to free_by_rcu_ttrace again
    P2: llist_add_batch(..., &tgt->free_by_rcu_ttrace)
        P2: do_call_rcu_ttrace()
            // call_rcu_ttrace_in_progress is 1, so xchg return 1
            // and it doesn't being moved to waiting_for_gp_ttrace
            P2: atomic_xchg(&c->call_rcu_ttrace_in_progress, 1)

// got 1
P1: atomic_read(&c->call_rcu_ttrace_in_progress)
// objects in free_by_rcu_ttrace is leaked

I think the race could be fixed by checking c->draining in
do_call_rcu_ttrace() when atomic_xchg() returns 1 as shown below:
