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.

Exercise bpf_res_spin_lock() from kprobe, tracepoint, perf event, and raw
tracepoint programs. Keep the existing bpf_spin_lock() rejection checks so
the tests cover the split verifier policy for the two lock types.
