bpf: Allow bpf_res_spin_lock() in all contexts

Browse source

There is no particular reason to keep bpf_res_spin_lock() disabled in
tracing programs, since it is safe against reentrancy and deadlocks.
Remove the restriction for tracing programs covered by the predicate
is_tracing_prog_type().

This is a prerequisite before the definition of is_tracing_prog_type()
is updated to include raw_tp, fentry, fexit, and fmod_ret. Existing
tracing programs will be updated to use bpf_res_spin_lock() instead when
it is available.
