Realized that the mechanism can work without requiring bpf prog
to use this new tag.
The kernel can determine whether __kptr is RCU or not
via rcu_protected_object().
So BPF_KPTR_RCU vs BPF_KPTR_REF will be kernel internal distinction.
Eventually all __kptr kernel objects will be RCU anyway.
I'll respin.
