[ Upstream commit eac9153f2b584c702cea02c1f1a57d85aa9aea42 ]

bpf stackmap with build-id lookup (BPF_F_STACK_BUILD_ID) can trigger A-A
deadlock on rq_lock():

rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
[...]

This can be reproduced by:
1. Start a multi-thread program that does parallel mmap() and malloc();
2. taskset the program to 2 CPUs;
3. Attach bpf program to trace_sched_switch and gather stackmap with
build-id, e.g. with trace.py from bcc tools:
trace.py -U -p <pid> -s <some-bin,some-lib> t:sched:sched_switch

A sample reproducer is attached at the end.

This could also trigger deadlock with other locks that are nested with
rq_lock.

Fix this by checking whether irqs are disabled. Since rq_lock and all
other nested locks are irq safe, it is safe to do up_read() when irqs are
not disable. If the irqs are disabled, postpone up_read() in irq_work.
