bpf: Register cleanup destructors for more types
This commit registers BPF_DTOR_CLEANUP destructors and void (*)(void *)
wrappers for open-coded iterators and referenced types across the kernel
so that stack unwinding on bpf_throw() can release held references.

[Severity: Medium]
Can btf_find_dtor() find nf_ct_dtors when CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK=m?
tc_cls_act_func_proto() in net/core/filter.c executes
BTF_TYPE_EMIT(struct nf_conn___init), so both struct nf_conn
(btf_nf_conn_ids[0]) and struct nf_conn___init (btf_nf_conn_ids[1]) are
emitted into vmlinux base BTF and have BTF IDs below nf_conntrack's module
btf->start_id. However, register_btf_id_dtor_kfuncs() stores nf_ct_dtors in
nf_conntrack's module dtor_kfunc_tab via THIS_MODULE.
When resource_registry() looks up the destructor, btf_find_dtor() walks to
base_btf before searching the module's table:
kernel/bpf/btf.c:btf_find_dtor() {
...
while (btf_id < btf->start_id)
btf = btf->base_btf;
dtor = btf_dtor_tab_find(btf, btf_id);
if (dtor || !btf_is_module(btf)) {
*btfp = btf;
return dtor;
}
...
}
Because btf_id < btf->start_id, btf_find_dtor() skips nf_conntrack's
dtor_kfunc_tab, searches vmlinux's table where nf_ct_dtors was not
registered, and returns NULL. As a result, the verifier rejects any XDP or
sched_cls program that calls bpf_throw() while holding a conntrack reference
when CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK=m.
