Subject: [PATCH net-next] bpf: avoid rcu_dereference inside bpf_event_mutex lock region

During perf event attaching/detaching bpf programs,
the tp_event->prog_array change is protected by the
bpf_event_mutex lock in both attaching and deteching
functions. Although tp_event->prog_array is a rcu
pointer, rcu_derefrence is not needed to access it
since mutex lock will guarantee ordering.

Verified through "make C=2" that sparse
locking check still happy with the new change.

Also change the label name in perf_event_{attach,detach}_bpf_prog
from "out" to "unlock" to reflect the code action after the label.

Peter,

Could you check whether the below change to remove rcu_dereference_protected
is what you wanted or not?

Thanks!
