rds_info_getsockopt() reads a callback from rds_info_funcs and invokes it
without protecting the callback's lifetime.  Transport modules register
functions stored in this array.  For example, rds_tcp.ko registers
rds_tcp_tc_info() for RDS_INFO_TCP_SOCKETS.

This permits the following interleaving:

  CPU0                             CPU1
  rds_info_getsockopt()
    func = rds_tcp_tc_info
                                   rmmod rds_tcp
                                     rds_tcp_exit()
                                       rds_info_deregister_func()
                                         rds_info_funcs[offset] = NULL
                                     free rds_tcp module text
    func()

The reader can therefore branch to an address in unloaded module text.

Protect callback invocation with SRCU.  Enter the SRCU read-side critical
section before loading the callback and leave it only after the callback
returns.  Clear the callback with WRITE_ONCE() and call
synchronize_srcu() before deregistration returns, preventing module unload
from freeing its text while an old reader is still executing it.  SRCU is
required because callbacks such as RDS_INFO_COUNTERS can sleep.

Keep the callback array unannotated and use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE()
for concurrent slot access so sparse does not have to apply __rcu through
the function-pointer typedef.  Replace the two callback-slot BUG_ON()
checks with WARN_ON_ONCE() and return without changing the slot on
mismatch.

Changes in v4:
- Use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() because the callback pointer does not
  publish associated state requiring acquire/release ordering.
- Keep the local variable declarations in reverse-Xmas-tree order.

Changes in v3:
- Use ordinary loads for callback-slot validation under rds_info_lock;
  retain acquire semantics only for the lockless reader.
- Drop the Fixes tag because this patch targets net-next.
- Add Allison Henderson's Reviewed-by tag.

Changes in v2:
- Split the info callback/module-unload race from the independent
  inc->i_conn lifetime bug.
- Keep the callback array unannotated and use smp_load_acquire() and
  smp_store_release() to resolve the sparse errors.
- Replace the two touched callback-slot BUG_ON() checks with
  WARN_ON_ONCE() error paths.
- Rewrite the commit message for the callback race and omit the unrelated
  inc->i_conn KASAN report.
