Logic to prevent callbacks from acquiring new references for the program
(i.e. leaving acquired references), and releasing caller references
(i.e. those acquired in parent frames) was introduced in commit
9d9d00ac29d0 ("bpf: Fix reference state management for synchronous callbacks").
This was necessary because back then, the verifier simulated each
callback once (that could potentially be executed N times, where N can
be zero). This meant that callbacks that left lingering resources or
cleared caller resources could do it more than once, operating on
undefined state or leaking memory.
With the fixes to callback verification in commit
ab5cfac139ab ("bpf: verify callbacks as if they are called unknown number of times"),
all of this extra logic is no longer necessary. Hence, drop it as part
of this commit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
