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.

+ * Emit the .klp.symid table which allows "objtool klp diff" to reliably
+ * disambiguate duplicate-named local symbols in vmlinux.
+ *
+ * Livepatch identifies a duplicate-named symbol by its position (sympos)
+ * among the same-named kallsyms entries, counted in ascending address order
+ * in the final linked vmlinux. That order can't be derived from vmlinux.o
+ * alone: the final link reorders sub-sections (.text.unlikely*, .data..*,
+ * etc).
+ *
+ * Bridge the gap with a table which survives the final link: a single
+ * non-alloc section containing an array of { id, addr } entries, where
+ * 'id' is a unique counter identifier and 'addr' has a relocation to the
+ * symbol. The linker copies 'id' verbatim and resolves 'addr' to the symbol's
+ * final address.
+ *
+ * The table is only emitted for vmlinux.o, and only when klp-build asks for it
+ * with KLP_SYMIDS=1, which adds --klp-symids to the vmlinux.o objtool run.
+ *
+ * It can't survive --gc-sections, which sweeps the whole section; klp-build
+ * rejects CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION.
