Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi c76fef7dcd bpf: Fix grace period wait for tracepoint bpf_link
Recently, tracepoints were switched from using disabled preemption
(which acts as RCU read section) to SRCU-fast when they are not
faultable. This means that to do a proper grace period wait for programs
running in such tracepoints, we must use SRCU's grace period wait.
This is only for non-faultable tracepoints, faultable ones continue
using RCU Tasks Trace.

However, bpf_link_free() currently does call_rcu() for all cases when
the link is non-sleepable (hence, for tracepoints, non-faultable). Fix
this by doing a call_srcu() grace period wait.

As far RCU Tasks Trace gp -> RCU gp chaining is concerned, it is deemed
unnecessary for tracepoint programs. The link and program are either
accessed under RCU Tasks Trace protection, or SRCU-fast protection now.

The earlier logic of chaining both RCU Tasks Trace and RCU gp waits was
to generalize the logic, even if it conceded an extra RCU gp wait,
however that is unnecessary for tracepoints even before this change.
In practice no cost was paid since rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp() was always
true. Hence we need not chaining any RCU gp after the SRCU gp.

For instance, in the non-faultable raw tracepoint, the RCU read section
of the program in __bpf_trace_run() is enclosed in the SRCU gp, likewise
for faultable raw tracepoint, the program is under the RCU Tasks Trace
protection. Hence, the outermost scope can be waited upon to ensure
correctness.

Also, sleepable programs cannot be attached to non-faultable
tracepoints, so whenever program or link is sleepable, only RCU Tasks
Trace protection is being used for the link and prog.
