Kui-Feng Lee e3f87fdfed bpf: hold module refcnt in bpf_struct_ops map creation and prog verification.
To ensure that a module remains accessible whenever a struct_ops object of
a struct_ops type provided by the module is still in use.

struct bpf_struct_ops_map doesn't hold a refcnt to btf anymore since a
module will hold a refcnt to it's btf already. But, struct_ops programs are
different. They hold their associated btf, not the module since they need
only btf to assure their types (signatures).

However, verifier holds the refcnt of the associated module of a struct_ops
type temporarily when verify a struct_ops prog. Verifier needs the help
from the verifier operators (struct bpf_verifier_ops) provided by the owner
module to verify data access of a prog, provide information, and generate
code.

This patch also add a count of links (links_cnt) to bpf_struct_ops_map. It
avoids bpf_struct_ops_map_put_progs() from accessing btf after calling
module_put() in bpf_struct_ops_map_free().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
