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.

+Note on Compatibility
+=====================
+
+Note that the Live Update feature is still under development and subject to
+change, so compatibility is not guaranteed when kexec rebooting between
+different kernel versions. This is expected to change and stabilize in a future
+version.
+
+Userspace Integration
+=====================
+
+systemd (since version v261) uses LUO to preserve its per-service file
+descriptor store across a kexec-based live update. Services opt in by setting
+``FileDescriptorStoreMax=`` and ``FileDescriptorStorePreserve=`` in their unit,
+and push file descriptors with a name into the store via
+``sd_pid_notify_with_fds(... "FDSTORE=1\nFDNAME=foo")``.
+
+Services may also create their own LUO sessions (via ``/dev/liveupdate``) and
+push the resulting session fds into their file descriptor store like any other
+fd. systemd detects such session fds and handles them accordingly, and
+hands the re-retrieved session fd back to the service after kexec, using the
+existing file descriptor store service interface.
