Allow transferring an imbalanced RCU lock state between subprog calls during verification. This allows patterns where a subprog call returns with an RCU lock held, or a subprog call releases an RCU lock held by the caller. Currently, the verifier would end up complaining if the RCU lock is not released when processing an exit from a subprog, which is non-ideal if its execution is supposed to be enclosed in an RCU read section of the caller. Instead, simply only check whether we are processing exit for frame#0 and do not complain on an active RCU lock otherwise. We only need to update the check when processing BPF_EXIT insn, as copy_verifier_state is already set up to do the right thing.

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.
