bpf: fix redirect to map under tail calls
Commits 109980b894e9 ("bpf: don't select potentially stale ri->map from buggy xdp progs") and 7c3001313396 ("bpf: fix ri->map_owner pointer on bpf_prog_realloc") tried to mitigate that buggy programs using bpf_redirect_map() helper call do not leave stale maps behind. Idea was to add a map_owner cookie into the per CPU struct redirect_info which was set to prog->aux by the prog making the helper call as a proof that the map is not stale since the prog is implicitly holding a reference to it. This owner cookie could later on get compared with the program calling into BPF whether they match and therefore the redirect could proceed with processing the map safely. In (obvious) hindsight, this approach breaks down when tail calls are involved since the original caller's prog->aux pointer does not have to match the one from one of the progs out of the tail call chain, and therefore the xdp buffer will be dropped instead of redirected. A way around that would be to fix the issue differently (which also allows to remove related work in fast path at the same time): once the life-time of a redirect map has come to its end we use it's map free callback where we need to wait on synchronize_rcu() for current outstanding xdp buffers and remove such a map pointer from the redirect info if found to be present. At that time no program is using this map anymore so we simply invalidate the map pointers to NULL iff they previously pointed to that instance while making sure that the redirect path only reads out the map once.
