[PATCH bpf-next v3 09/13] bpf: Mark OBJ_RELEASE argument as MEM_RCU when possible

[Yonghong Song <yonghong.song@xxxxxxxxx>]

In previous selftests/bpf patch, we have
  p = bpf_percpu_obj_new(struct val_t);
  if (!p)
          goto out;

  p1 = bpf_kptr_xchg(&e->pc, p);
  if (p1) {
          /* race condition */
          bpf_percpu_obj_drop(p1);
  }

  p = e->pc;
  if (!p)
          goto out;

After bpf_kptr_xchg(), we need to re-read e->pc into 'p'.
This is due to that the second argument of bpf_kptr_xchg() is marked
OBJ_RELEASE and it will be marked as invalid after the call.
So after bpf_kptr_xchg(), 'p' is an unknown scalar,
and the bpf program needs to reread from the map value.

This patch checks if the 'p' has type MEM_ALLOC and MEM_PERCPU,
and if 'p' is RCU protected. If this is the case, 'p' can be marked
as MEM_RCU. MEM_ALLOC needs to be removed since 'p' is not
an owning reference any more. Such a change makes re-read
from the map value unnecessary.

Note that re-reading 'e->pc' after bpf_kptr_xchg() might get
a different value from 'p' if immediately before 'p = e->pc',
another cpu may do another bpf_kptr_xchg() and swap in another value
into 'e->pc'. If this is the case, then 'p = e->pc' may
get either 'p' or another value, and race condition already exists.
So removing direct re-reading seems fine too.
