bpf: Fix race between btf_put and btf_idr walk.
[ Upstream commit acf1c3d68e9a31f10d92bc67ad4673cdae5e8d92 ]
Florian and Eduard reported hard dead lock:
[ 58.433327] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x40/0x50
[ 58.433334] btf_put+0x43/0x90
[ 58.433338] bpf_find_btf_id+0x157/0x240
[ 58.433353] btf_parse_fields+0x921/0x11c0
This happens since btf->refcount can be 1 at the time of btf_put() and
btf_put() will call btf_free_id() which will try to grab btf_idr_lock
and will dead lock.
Avoid the issue by doing btf_put() without locking.
Fixes: 3d78417b60fb ("bpf: Add bpf_btf_find_by_name_kind() helper.")
Fixes: 1e89106da253 ("bpf: Add bpf_core_add_cands() and wire it into bpf_core_apply_relo_insn().")
