bpf: Release resources in hidden slots on bpf_throw()
This commit adds runtime support in bpf_throw() to walk discarded BPF
stack frames and release held locks, IRQ flags, sections, and referenced
objects recorded in frame descriptors.

[Severity: High]
Does releasing BPF_RESOURCE_SPIN_LOCK in pass 0 corrupt the CPU interrupt
state when a frame holds both a bpf_spin_lock and a nested
bpf_res_spin_lock_irqsave()?
bpf_spin_lock() saves interrupt flags in per-CPU irqsave_flags and
disables local interrupts, and bpf_spin_unlock() restores irqsave_flags:
kernel/bpf/helpers.c:__bpf_spin_unlock_irqrestore() {
unsigned long flags;
flags = __this_cpu_read(irqsave_flags);
__bpf_spin_unlock(lock);
local_irq_restore(flags);
}
bpf_res_spin_lock() and bpf_res_spin_lock_irqsave() are marked
KF_SPINLOCK_SAFE and can be acquired while a bpf_spin_lock is held. When
a frame acquires bpf_spin_lock() with interrupts enabled and then calls
bpf_res_spin_lock_irqsave(), irqsave_flags holds the enabled state while
the stack slot for BPF_RESOURCE_IRQ_FLAG records interrupts as disabled.
Because only BPF_RESOURCE_IRQ_FLAG is checked for late, pass 0 runs
bpf_spin_unlock() first, re-enabling interrupts while the resilient
spinlock is still held, and then runs bpf_local_irq_restore() on the
BPF_RESOURCE_IRQ_FLAG slot, leaving local interrupts permanently disabled
through sleeping destructors in BPF_UNWIND_PHASE_OBJS and after the BPF
program returns. In addition, releasing BPF_RESOURCE_RES_LOCK in pass 0
calls preempt_enable() in bpf_res_spin_unlock() before pass 1 restores
the interrupt state.
