[PATCH bpf-next v3 03/10] io_uring: Implement eBPF iterator for registered files

This change adds eBPF iterator for buffers registered in io_uring ctx.
It gives access to the ctx, the index of the registered buffer, and a
pointer to the struct file itself. This allows the iterator to save
info related to the file added to an io_uring instance, that isn't easy
to export using the fdinfo interface (like being able to match
registered files to a task's file set). Getting access to underlying
struct file allows deduplication and efficient pairing with task file
set (obtained using task_file iterator).

The primary usecase this is enabling is checkpoint/restore support.

Note that we need to use mutex_trylock when the file is read from, in
seq_start functions, as the order of lock taken is opposite of what it
would be when io_uring operation reads the same file. We take
seq_file->lock, then ctx->uring_lock, while io_uring would first take
ctx->uring_lock and then seq_file->lock for the same ctx.

This can lead to a deadlock scenario described below:

The sequence on CPU 0 is for normal read(2) on iterator. For CPU 1, it
is an io_uring instance trying to do same on iterator attached to
itself.

So CPU 0 does

sys_read
vfs_read
bpf_seq_read
mutex_lock(&seq_file->lock) # A
io_uring_buf_seq_start
mutex_lock(&ctx->uring_lock) # B

and CPU 1 does

io_uring_enter
mutex_lock(&ctx->uring_lock) # B
io_read
bpf_seq_read
mutex_lock(&seq_file->lock) # A
...

Since the order of locks is opposite, it can deadlock. So we switch the
mutex_lock in io_uring_buf_seq_start to trylock, so it can return an
error for this case, then it will release seq_file->lock and CPU 1 will
make progress.

The trylock also protects the case where io_uring tries to read from
iterator attached to itself (same ctx), where the order of locks would
be:
io_uring_enter
mutex_lock(&ctx->uring_lock) <------------.
io_read \
seq_read \
mutex_lock(&seq_file->lock) /
mutex_lock(&ctx->uring_lock) # deadlock-`

In both these cases (recursive read and contended uring_lock), -EDEADLK
is returned to userspace.

With the advent of descriptorless files supported by io_uring, this
iterator provides the required visibility and introspection of io_uring
instance for the purposes of dumping and restoring it.

In the future, this iterator will be extended to support direct
inspection of a lot of file state (currently descriptorless files
are obtained using openat2 and socket) to dump file state for these
hidden files. Later, we can explore filling in the gaps for dumping
file state for more file types (those not hidden in io_uring ctx).
All this is out of scope for the current series however, but builds
upon this iterator.
