Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2] selftests/bpf: fix potential premature unload in bpf_testmod

It is possible for bpf_kfunc_call_test_release() to be called from
bpf_map_free_deferred() when bpf_testmod is already unloaded and
perf_test_stuct.cnt which it tries to decrease is no longer in memory.
This patch tries to fix the issue by waiting for all references to be
dropped in bpf_testmod_exit().

The issue can be triggered by running 'test_progs -t map_kptr' in 6.5,
but is obscured in 6.6 by d119357d07435 ("rcu-tasks: Treat only
synchronous grace periods urgently").

Fixes: 65eb006d85a2a ("bpf: Move kernel test kfuncs to bpf_testmod")
