Please use the following approach instead:

__weak noinline void bpf_rstat_flush(struct cgroup *cgrp, struct cgroup *parent, int cpu)
{
}

and change above line to:
  bpf_rstat_flush(pos, cgroup_parent(pos), cpu);

Then tracing bpf fentry progs will be able to attach to bpf_rstat_flush.
Pretty much the patches 1, 2, 3 are not necessary.
In patch 4 add bpf_cgroup_rstat_updated/flush as two kfuncs instead of stable helpers.

This way patches 1,2,3,4 will become 2 trivial patches and we will be
able to extend the interface between cgroup rstat and bpf whenever we need
without worrying about uapi stability.

We had similar discusison with HID subsystem that plans to use bpf in HID
with the same approach.
See this patch set:
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20220421140740.459558-2-benjamin.tissoires@redhat.com/
You'd need patch 1 from it to enable kfuncs for tracing.

Your patch 5 is needed as-is.
Yonghong,
please review it.
Different approach for patch 1-4 won't affect patch 5.
Patches 6 and 7 look good.

With this approach that patch 7 will mostly stay as-is. Instead of:
+SEC("rstat/flush")
+int vmscan_flush(struct bpf_rstat_flush_ctx *ctx)
+{
+       struct vmscan_percpu *pcpu_stat;
+       struct vmscan *total_stat, *parent_stat;
+       struct cgroup *cgrp = ctx->cgrp, *parent = ctx->parent;

it will become

SEC("fentry/bpf_rstat_flush")
int BPF_PROG(vmscan_flush, struct cgroup *cgrp, struct cgroup *parent, int cpu)
