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.

+Filesystems in the Linux kernel
+===============================
+
+This under-development manual will, some glorious day, provide
+comprehensive information on how the Linux virtual filesystem (VFS) layer
+works, along with the filesystems that sit below it. For now, what we have
+can be found below.
+
+Core VFS documentation
+======================
+
+See these manuals for documentation about the VFS layer itself and how its
+algorithms work.
