there is really just one caller ("legacy" singular uprobe handler), so
I think this should be fine. Unless someone objects I'd keep it
consistent with other "prog_array_run" helpers

Yeah, absolutely, forgot to move the RCU dereference part, good catch!
But I wouldn't do the _check() variant here, literally the previous
line does rcu_read_trace_lock(), so this check part seems like just
unnecessary verboseness, I'd go with a simple rcu_dereference().
