Right, sleepable one may need a short rcu_read_lock only upto
a point that the cgrp->bpf.effective[...] is obtained.
call_rcu_tasks_trace() is then needed to free the bpf_prog_array.

The future sleepable one may be better off to have a different shim func,
not sure.  rcu_read_lock() can be added back later if it ends up reusing
the same shim func is cleaner.

Yep.  I think so.

BPF_PROG_RUN_ARRAY_CG is __always_inline though.
