bpf, sockmap: Fix preempt_rt splat when using raw_spin_lock_t
Sockmap and sockhash maps are a collection of psocks that are objects representing a socket plus a set of metadata needed to manage the BPF programs associated with the socket. These maps use the stab->lock to protect from concurrent operations on the maps, e.g. trying to insert to objects into the array at the same time in the same slot. Additionally, a sockhash map has a bucket lock to protect iteration and insert/delete into the hash entry. Each psock has a psock->link which is a linked list of all the maps that a psock is attached to. This allows a psock (socket) to be included in multiple sockmap and sockhash maps. This linked list is protected the psock->link_lock. They _must_ be nested correctly to avoid deadlock: lock(stab->lock) : do BPF map operations and psock insert/delete lock(psock->link_lock) : add map to psock linked list of maps unlock(psock->link_lock) unlock(stab->lock) For non PREEMPT_RT kernels both raw_spin_lock_t and spin_lock_t are guaranteed to not sleep. But, with PREEMPT_RT kernels the spin_lock_t variants may sleep. In the current code we have many patterns like this: rcu_critical_section: raw_spin_lock(stab->lock) spin_lock(psock->link_lock) <- may sleep ouch spin_unlock(psock->link_lock) raw_spin_unlock(stab->lock) rcu_critical_section Nesting spin_lock() inside a raw_spin_lock() violates locking rules for PREEMPT_RT kernels. And additionally we do alloc(GFP_ATOMICS) inside the stab->lock, but those might sleep on PREEMPT_RT kernels. The result is splats like this: ./test_progs -t sockmap_basic [ 33.344330] bpf_testmod: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.

So convert raw_spin_lock_t to spin_lock_t. We note that sock_map_update that would trigger the allocate and potential sleep is only allowed through sys_bpf ops and via sock_ops which precludes hw interrupts and low level atomic sections in RT preempt kernel. On non RT preempt kernel there are no changes here and spin locks sections and alloc(GFP_ATOMIC) are still not sleepable.
