This selftest is based on a Alexei's test adopted from an internal user to troubleshoot another bug. During this exercise, a separate racing bug was discovered between bpf_timer_cancel_and_free and bpf_timer_cancel. The details can be found in the previous patch. This patch is to add a selftest that can trigger the bug. I can trigger the UAF everytime in my qemu setup with KASAN. The idea is to have multiple user space threads running in a tight loop to exercise both bpf_map_update_elem (which calls into bpf_timer_cancel_and_free) and bpf_timer_cancel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
