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.

+======================================
+Subsystem Trace Points: PCI Controller
+======================================
+
+Overview
+========
+The PCI controller tracing system provides tracepoints to monitor controller
+level information for debugging purpose. The events normally show up here:
+
+ /sys/kernel/tracing/events/pci_controller
+
+Cf. include/trace/events/pci_controller.h for the events definitions.
+
+Available Tracepoints
+=====================
+
+pcie_ltssm_state_transition
+---------------------------
+
+Monitors PCIe LTSSM state transition including state and rate information
+::
+
+ pcie_ltssm_state_transition "dev: %s state: %s rate: %s\n"
+
+**Parameters**:
+
+* ``dev`` - PCIe controller instance
+* ``state`` - PCIe LTSSM state
+* ``rate`` - PCIe date rate
+
+**Example Usage**:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ # Enable the tracepoint
+ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/pci_controller/pcie_ltssm_state_transition/enable
+
+ # Monitor events (the following output is generated when a device is linking)
+ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
+ kworker/0:0-9 [000] ..... 5.600221: pcie_ltssm_state_transition: dev: a40000000.pcie state: RCVRY_EQ2 rate: 8.0 GT/s
