Subject: [RFC PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpf, cpumap: Use queue_rcu_work() to remove unnecessary rcu_barrier()

From: Hou Tao <houtao1@...wei.com>

As for now __cpu_map_entry_replace() uses call_rcu() to wait for the
inflight xdp program and NAPI poll to exit the RCU read critical
section, and then launch kworker cpu_map_kthread_stop() to call
kthread_stop() to handle all pending xdp frames or skbs.

But it is unnecessary to use rcu_barrier() in cpu_map_kthread_stop() to
wait for the completion of __cpu_map_entry_free(), because rcu_barrier()
will wait for all pending RCU callbacks and cpu_map_kthread_stop() only
needs to wait for the completion of a specific __cpu_map_entry_free().

So use queue_rcu_work() to replace call_rcu(), schedule_work() and
rcu_barrier(). queue_rcu_work() will queue a __cpu_map_entry_free()
kworker after a RCU grace period. Because __cpu_map_entry_free() is
running in a kworker context, so it is OK to do all of these freeing
procedures include kthread_stop() in it.

After the update, there is no need to do reference-counting for
bpf_cpu_map_entry, because bpf_cpu_map_entry is freed directly in
__cpu_map_entry_free(), so just remove it.
