Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/5] bpf: Mark struct bpf_cpumask as RCU protected

struct bpf_cpumask is a BPF-wrapper around the struct cpumask type which
can be instantiated by a BPF program, and then queried as a cpumask in
similar fashion to normal kernel code. The previous patch in this series
makes the type fully RCU safe, allowing the type can be included in the
rcu_protected_type BTF ID list.

A subsequent patch will remove bpf_cpumask_kptr_get(), as it's no longer
useful now that the verifier allows us to use bpf_rcu_read_{un}lock() to
get an RCU-safe pointer.
