bpf: Dissociate struct_ops progs before the grace period of the map

A struct_ops prog is associated with its map without a reference on the
map, and finds the struct_ops through bpf_prog_get_assoc_struct_ops()
under RCU. For a struct_ops map, bpf_map_put() waits for an RCU grace
period before it calls bpf_struct_ops_map_free(), which clears the
association and then frees the trampoline and the kdata right away.

Nothing waits for a prog that reads the association after that grace
period started and before the association is cleared. A timer callback
of a struct_ops prog that calls test_1 of bpf_testmod's multi_st_ops
through the association while the map is freed returns into the freed
trampoline, whose image is filled with int3. RAX holds MAP_MAGIC (1234),
which test_1 has just returned:

  Oops: int3: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI

Dissociate the progs in map_free_pre_rcu(), so that the grace period of
bpf_map_put() follows it, and make that an RCU tasks trace grace period
for every struct_ops map. It then also waits for the progs that read
the association under RCU tasks trace, e.g. from a bpf_wq callback or a
sleepable prog, as a tasks trace grace period implies an RCU one.
Stop setting free_after_rcu_gp, which bpf_map_put() no longer reads for
a struct_ops map, and update the comment of free_after_mult_rcu_gp in
struct bpf_struct_ops, which now only picks the grace period of a cgroup
prog array.

The st_ops_assoc_in_timer_free subtest of test_progs reproduces it. Its
timer callback keeps calling test_1 through the association while the
map is freed, and test_1 spins in bpf_loop() when called from there:

  $ cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf
  $ make test_progs
  $ ./test_progs -t struct_ops_assoc/st_ops_assoc_in_timer_free
