Subject: [PATCH v2 bpf 4/5] bpf: add missing rcu_dereference() in bpf_prog_array_delete_safe()

There is a missing rcu_dereference() in bpf_prog_array_delete_safe().
The progs argument is a __rcu pointer, so dereferencing should be
performed using rcu_dereference(), as, for example, in
bpf_prog_array_length().

This patch helps to remove the following sparse warning:
kernel/bpf/core.c:1629:34: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)

Fixes: 324bda9e6c5a ("bpf: multi program support for cgroup+bpf")
