Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Call rcu_read_unlock() before copy_to_user()

We must not hold locks when calling copy_to_user():

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/memory.c:3732
in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 671, name: test_maps
1 lock held by test_maps/671:

So call rcu_read_unlock() before copy_to_user(). We can
release the lock earlier because it is not needed for copy_to_user().
