bpf: Fix WARNING in bpf_tracing_link_release
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix WARNING in bpf_tracing_link_release The trampoline could be corrupted by the blindly 'tr->flags = BPF_TRAMP_F_TAIL_CALL_CTX' in verifier. 1. A fexit attached to a tail_call_reachable prog. 'tr->flags' became 'BPF_TRAMP_F_CALL_ORIG | BPF_TRAMP_F_TAIL_CALL_CTX'. And, the trampoline would poke the target prog's nop insn using jmp insn instead of call insn. 2. Another fexit loaded with the same tail_call_reachable prog target. 'tr->flags' became 'BPF_TRAMP_F_TAIL_CALL_CTX'. 3. Close the first fexit link. Due to no BPF_TRAMP_F_CALL_ORIG in 'tr->flags', the trampoline will fail to restore the prog's nop insn using call insn.
