Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.8 03/15] bpf: put uprobe link's path and task in release callback

From: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit e9c856cabefb71d47b2eeb197f72c9c88e9b45b0 ]

There is no need to delay putting either path or task to deallocation
step. It can be done right after bpf_uprobe_unregister. Between release
and dealloc, there could be still some running BPF programs, but they
don't access either task or path, only data in link->uprobes, so it is
safe to do.

On the other hand, doing path_put() in dealloc callback makes this
dealloc sleepable because path_put() itself might sleep. Which is
problematic due to the need to call uprobe's dealloc through call_rcu(),
which is what is done in the next bug fix patch. So solve the problem by
releasing these resources early.
