bpf_sys_bpf() executes the bpf(2) syscall body, which can take mutexes,
allocate with GFP_KERNEL, and wait for an RCU grace period.
bpf_sys_close() reaches close_fd() and filp_close(), which can sleep as
well.
Both helpers are limited to BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL, whose main program is
sleepable. That does not make every callback sleepable: a syscall program
can register a bpf_timer callback, and the verifier checks that callback
in a non-sleepable context while retaining the syscall helper set.
Without .might_sleep on the prototypes, such a callback can invoke
bpf_sys_bpf() from hrtimer softirq context and trigger a
scheduling-while-atomic failure. bpf_sys_close() is exposed through the
same missing context check.
Set .might_sleep on both prototypes so the existing helper-context check
rejects them from timer callbacks and other atomic regions. Calls from the
sleepable main body remain valid.
