bpf: implement sleepable uprobes by chaining gps

uprobes work by raising a trap, setting a task flag from within the
interrupt handler, and processing the actual work for the uprobe on the
way back to userspace. As a result, uprobe handlers already execute in a
might_fault/_sleep context. The primary obstacle to sleepable bpf uprobe
programs is therefore on the bpf side.

Namely, the bpf_prog_array attached to the uprobe is protected by normal
rcu. In order for uprobe bpf programs to become sleepable, it has to be
protected by the tasks_trace rcu flavor instead (and kfree() called after
a corresponding grace period).

Therefore, the free path for bpf_prog_array now chains a tasks_trace and
normal grace periods one after the other.

Users who iterate under tasks_trace read section would
be safe, as would users who iterate under normal read sections (from
non-sleepable locations).

The downside is that the tasks_trace latency affects all perf_event-attached
bpf programs (and not just uprobe ones). This is deemed safe given the
possible attach rates for kprobe/uprobe/tp programs.

Separately, non-sleepable programs need access to dynamically sized
rcu-protected maps, so bpf_run_prog_array_sleepables now conditionally takes
an rcu read section, in addition to the overarching tasks_trace section.
