Martin KaFai Lau 9bac675e63 bpf: Postpone bpf_obj_free_fields to the rcu callback
A later patch will enable the uptr usage in the task_local_storage map.
This will require the unpin_user_page() to be done after the rcu
task trace gp for the cases that the uptr may still be used by
a bpf prog. The bpf_obj_free_fields() will be the one doing
unpin_user_page(), so this patch is to postpone calling
bpf_obj_free_fields() to the rcu callback.

The bpf_obj_free_fields() is only required to be done in
the rcu callback when bpf->bpf_ma==true and reuse_now==false.

bpf->bpf_ma==true case is because uptr will only be enabled
in task storage which has already been moved to bpf_mem_alloc.
The bpf->bpf_ma==false case can be supported in the future
also if there is a need.

reuse_now==false when the selem (aka storage) is deleted
by bpf prog (bpf_task_storage_delete) or by syscall delete_elem().
In both cases, bpf_obj_free_fields() needs to wait for
rcu gp.

A few words on reuse_now==true. reuse_now==true when the
storage's owner (i.e. the task_struct) is destructing or the map
itself is doing map_free(). In both cases, no bpf prog should
have a hold on the selem and its uptrs, so there is no need to
postpone bpf_obj_free_fields(). reuse_now==true should be the
common case for local storage usage where the storage exists
throughout the lifetime of its owner (task_struct).

The bpf_obj_free_fields() needs to use the map->record. Doing
bpf_obj_free_fields() in a rcu callback will require the
bpf_local_storage_map_free() to wait for rcu_barrier. An optimization
could be only waiting for rcu_barrier when the map has uptr in
its map_value. This will require either yet another rcu callback
function or adding a bool in the selem to flag if the SDATA(selem)->smap
is still valid. This patch chooses to keep it simple and wait for
rcu_barrier for maps that use bpf_mem_alloc.
