Yeah. That won't work. We need a wrapper.
Since bpf prog is also calling it directly.
In progs/task_kfunc_common.h
void bpf_task_release(struct task_struct *p) __ksym;

than later both libbpf and the verifier check that
what bpf prog is calling actually matches the proto
of what is in the kernel.
Effectively we're doing strong prototype check at load time.

btw instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(bpf_task_release)
can __ADDRESSABLE be used ?
Since it's not an export symbol.
