Actually, no, please disregard this patch. It was only a matter of
timing before something had popped up.
This was sent out far too prematurely and I failed to realize that
__bpf_prog_enter_sleepable() calls might_fault() and
security_file_mprotect() is being called from a context whereby a
mmap_lock is already being held. In essence, this also means that it's
not possible to run sleepable BPF programs in contexts where a
mmap_lock is already held as the page fault handler also attempts to
take the mmap_lock, and well all know what happens when you have the
same thread attempting to acquire the same lock whilst already holding
that lock.
