Yonghong Song 965931e3a8 bpf: fix a rcu usage warning in bpf_prog_array_copy_core() 
Commit 394e40a297 ("bpf: extend bpf_prog_array to store pointers
to the cgroup storage") refactored the bpf_prog_array_copy_core()
to accommodate new structure bpf_prog_array_item which contains
bpf_prog array itself.

In the old code, we had
   perf_event_query_prog_array():
     mutex_lock(...)
     bpf_prog_array_copy_call():
       prog = rcu_dereference_check(array, 1)->progs
       bpf_prog_array_copy_core(prog, ...)
     mutex_unlock(...)

With the above commit, we had
   perf_event_query_prog_array():
     mutex_lock(...)
     bpf_prog_array_copy_call():
       bpf_prog_array_copy_core(array, ...):
         item = rcu_dereference(array)->items;
         ...
     mutex_unlock(...)

The new code will trigger a lockdep rcu checking warning.
The fix is to change rcu_dereference() to rcu_dereference_check()
to prevent such a warning.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
