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.

+ This option enables fs-verity. fs-verity is the dm-verity
+ mechanism implemented at the file level. On supported
+ filesystems (currently ext4, f2fs, and btrfs), userspace can
+ use an ioctl to enable verity for a file, which causes the
+ filesystem to build a Merkle tree for the file. The filesystem
+ will then transparently verify any data read from the file
+ against the Merkle tree. The file is also made read-only.
+
+ This serves as an integrity check, but the availability of the
+ Merkle tree root hash also allows efficiently supporting
+ various use cases where normally the whole file would need to
+ be hashed at once, such as: (a) auditing (logging the file's
+ hash), or (b) authenticity verification (comparing the hash
+ against a known good value, e.g. from a digital signature).
+
+ fs-verity is especially useful on large files where not all
+ the contents may actually be needed. Also, fs-verity verifies
+ data each time it is paged back in, which provides better
+ protection against malicious disks vs. an ahead-of-time hash.

+
+ Please take great care before using this feature. It is not
+ the only way to do signatures with fs-verity, and the
+ alternatives (such as userspace signature verification, and
+ IMA appraisal) can be much better. For details about the
+ limitations of this feature, see
+ Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst.
