Yeah, I was expecting a very quick "I know why you are crashing", not
a full review here.

This rcu approach is indeed wrong, but there still needs to be some
locking if bpf_timer_set_callback() or bpf_timer_set_sleepable_cb() is
called while the work just started. I went with a semaphore in v3 as
it seemed lightweight enough there. Please shout if you disagree :)

Anyway, I've also dropped the flags in bpf_timer_init() in v3 to only
add BPF_F_TIMER_SLEEPABLE in bpf_timer_start().

V3 (not RFC) is coming.

Cheers,
Benjamin
