Merge branch 'bpf: Handle MEM_RCU type properly'

Yonghong Song says:

====================

Patch set [1] added rcu support for bpf programs. In [1], a rcu
pointer is considered to be trusted and not null. This is actually
not true in some cases. The rcu pointer could be null, and for non-null
rcu pointer, it may have reference count of 0. This small patch set
fixed this problem. Patch 1 is the kernel fix. Patch 2 adjusted
selftests properly. Patch 3 added documentation for newly-introduced
KF_RCU flag.

  [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221124053201.2372298-1-yhs@fb.com/



Changelogs:
  v1 -> v2:
    - rcu ptr could be NULL.
    - non_null_rcu_ptr->rcu_field can be marked as MEM_RCU as well.
    - Adjust the code to avoid existing error message change.
