so my idea was that we need to ensure all the current callers of
bpf_dispatcher_xdp_func (which should have rcu read lock, based
on the comment in bpf_prog_run_xdp) are gone before and new ones
execute the new image, so the next call to the bpf_dispatcher_update
will be safe to overwrite the other half of the image
