I think we don't need this Fixes tag as this patch should target to
bpf-next tree. There is no need to backport to bpf tree since it is
just a documentation change.

Based on *current* implementation, referring to sleepable BPF
program commit is not needed any more. See below for the suggested
change.

Currently, migrate_disable() means true migration disable and preemption 
is possible, and BPF_F_SLEEPABLE programs are also protected by 
migrate_disable().

So the patch should just change "with preemption disabled" to
"with migration disabled" to reflect the new implementation.
