selftests/bpf: Reject graph kptr use after RCU unlockgrafted
Add a sleepable verifier test that loads a graph-node local kptr in an explicit RCU read-side critical section, then passes its node to bpf_rbtree_remove() after the section ends. Before the verifier fix, the stale NON_OWN_REF flag makes the node look like a live borrowed reference and the program is accepted. After the fix, the pointer is demoted without NON_OWN_REF and the graph kfunc argument is rejected. Also exercise a graph kptr loaded while a spin lock provides implicit RCU protection. The pointer must be invalidated when the lock is released, which guards the required ordering between non-owning-reference invalidation and RCU demotion. Update the existing fault-protected load test state description. The post-unlock pointer no longer carries NON_OWN_REF, but remains readable because the load is rewritten to use BPF_PROBE_MEM.

+Documentation for /proc/sys/sunrpc/
+===================================
+
+kernel version 2.2.10
+
+Copyright (c) 1998, 1999, Rik van Riel <riel@nl.linux.org>
+
+For general info and legal blurb, please look in index.rst.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This file contains the documentation for the sysctl files in
+/proc/sys/sunrpc and is valid for Linux kernel version 2.2.
+
+The files in this directory can be used to (re)set the debug
+flags of the SUN Remote Procedure Call (RPC) subsystem in
+the Linux kernel. This stuff is used for NFS, KNFSD and
+maybe a few other things as well.
+
+The files in there are used to control the debugging flags:
+rpc_debug, nfs_debug, nfsd_debug and nlm_debug.
+
+These flags are for kernel hackers only. You should read the
+source code in net/sunrpc/ for more information.
