Hou Tao 8f8500a247 bpf, cpumap: Use queue_rcu_work() to remove unnecessary rcu_barrier()
As for now __cpu_map_entry_replace() uses call_rcu() to wait for the
inflight xdp program to exit the RCU read critical section, and then
launch kworker cpu_map_kthread_stop() to call kthread_stop() to flush
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.

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.
