Subject: bpf: avoid rcu_dereference inside bpf_event_mutex lock region
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc1
Git-commit: 07c41a295c5f25928a7cb689fdec816bd0089fe8
References: bsc#1109837

During perf event attaching/detaching bpf programs,
the tp_event->prog_array change is protected by the
bpf_event_mutex lock in both attaching and deteching
functions. Although tp_event->prog_array is a rcu
pointer, rcu_derefrence is not needed to access it
since mutex lock will guarantee ordering.

Verified through "make C=2" that sparse
locking check still happy with the new change.

Also change the label name in perf_event_{attach,detach}_bpf_prog
from "out" to "unlock" to reflect the code action after the label.
