UPSTREAM: bpf: bpf_prog_array_alloc() should return a generic non-rcu pointer
Currently the return type of the bpf_prog_array_alloc() is
struct bpf_prog_array __rcu *, which is not quite correct.
Obviously, the returned pointer is a generic pointer, which
is valid for an indefinite amount of time and it's not shared
with anyone else, so there is no sense in marking it as __rcu.
This change eliminate the following sparse warnings:
kernel/bpf/core.c:1544:31: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different address spaces)
kernel/bpf/core.c:1544:31: expected struct bpf_prog_array [noderef] <asn:4>*
