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.

+ * The kobject release method must not be placed in the module itself,
+ * otherwise we are subject to module unload races.
+ *
+ * The release method is called when the last reference to the kobject is
+ * dropped. It may be called by any other kernel code that drops the last
+ * reference.
+ *
+ * The release method suffers from module unload race. We may prevent the
+ * module from being unloaded at the start of the release method (using
+ * increased module reference count or synchronizing against the release
+ * method), however there is no way to prevent the module from being
+ * unloaded at the end of the release method.
+ *
+ * If this code were placed in the dm module, the following race may
+ * happen:
+ *  1. Some other process takes a reference to dm kobject
+ *  2. The user issues ioctl function to unload the dm device
+ *  3. dm_sysfs_exit calls kobject_put, however the object is not released
+ *     because of the other reference taken at step 1
+ *  4. dm_sysfs_exit waits on the completion
+ *  5. The other process that took the reference in step 1 drops it,
+ *     dm_kobject_release is called from this process
+ *  6. dm_kobject_release calls complete()
+ *  7. a reschedule happens before dm_kobject_release returns
+ *  8. dm_sysfs_exit continues, the dm device is unloaded, module reference
+ *     count is decremented
+ *  9. The user unloads the dm module
+ * 10. The other process that was rescheduled in step 7 continues to run,
+ *     it is now executing code in unloaded module, so it crashes
+ *
+ * Note that if the process that takes the foreign reference to dm kobject
+ * has a low priority and the system is sufficiently loaded with
+ * higher-priority processes that prevent the low-priority process from
+ * being scheduled long enough, this bug may really happen.
+ *
+ * In order to fix this module unload race, we place the release method
+ * into a helper code that is compiled directly into the kernel.
