[bpf-next,1/2] bpf: Fix missed rcu read lock in bpf_task_under_cgroup()

Commit Message

When employed within a sleepable program not under RCU protection, the use
of 'bpf_task_under_cgroup()' may trigger a warning in the kernel log,
particularly when CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is enabled.

This issue can be reproduced by executing a straightforward program, as
demonstrated below:

SEC("lsm.s/bpf")
int BPF_PROG(lsm_run, int cmd, union bpf_attr *attr, unsigned int size)
{
        struct cgroup *cgrp = NULL;
        struct task_struct *task;
        int ret = 0;

        if (cmd != BPF_LINK_CREATE)
                return 0;

        // The cgroup2 should be mounted first
        cgrp = bpf_cgroup_from_id(1);
        if (!cgrp)
                goto out;
        task = bpf_get_current_task_btf();
        if (bpf_task_under_cgroup(task, cgrp))
                ret = -1;
        bpf_cgroup_release(cgrp);

out:
        return ret;
}

After running the program, if you subsequently execute another BPF program,
you will encounter the warning. It's worth noting that
task_under_cgroup_hierarchy() is also utilized by
bpf_current_task_under_cgroup(). However, bpf_current_task_under_cgroup()
doesn't exhibit this issue because it cannot be used in sleepable BPF
programs.
