bpf: Fix UAF via mismatching bpf_prog/attachment RCU flavors
Uprobes always use bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe() under tasks-trace-RCU
protection. But it is possible to attach a non-sleepable BPF program to a
uprobe, and non-sleepable BPF programs are freed via normal RCU (see
__bpf_prog_put_noref()). This leads to UAF of the bpf_prog because a normal
RCU grace period does not imply a tasks-trace-RCU grace period.
Fix it by explicitly waiting for a tasks-trace-RCU grace period after
removing the attachment of a bpf_prog to a perf_event.
