Add test cases to ensure the verifier correctly rejects bpf_throw from
subprogs when RCU, preempt, or IRQ locks are held:
* reject_subprog_rcu_lock_throw: subprog acquires bpf_rcu_read_lock and
then calls bpf_throw
* reject_subprog_throw_preempt_lock: always-throwing subprog called while
caller holds bpf_preempt_disable
* reject_subprog_throw_irq_lock: always-throwing subprog called while
caller holds bpf_local_irq_save

process_bpf_exit_full() passes check_lock = !curframe to
check_resource_leak(), which is false in cases when bpf_throw() is
called from a static subprog. This makes check_resource_leak() to skip
validation of active_rcu_locks, active_preempt_locks, and
active_irq_id on exception exits from subprogs.
At runtime bpf_throw() unwinds the stack via ORC without releasing any
user-acquired locks, which may cause various issues as the result.
Fix by setting check_lock = true for exception exits regardless of
curframe, since exceptions bypass all intermediate frame
cleanup. Update the error message prefix to "bpf_throw" for exception
exits to distinguish them from normal BPF_EXIT.
Fix reject_subprog_with_rcu_read_lock test which was previously
passing for the wrong reason. Test program returned directly from the
subprog call without closing the RCU section, so the error was
triggered by the unclosed RCU lock on normal exit, not by
bpf_throw. Update __msg annotations for affected tests to match the
new "bpf_throw" error prefix.
The spin_lock case is not affected because they are already checked [1]
at the call site in do_check_insn() before bpf_throw can run.

The verifier log when leaking resources on BPF_EXIT may be a bit
confusing, as it's a problem only when finally existing from the main
prog, not from any of the subprogs. Hence, update the verifier error
string and the corresponding selftests matching on it.

There are similar checks for covering locks, references, RCU read
sections and preempt_disable sections in 3 places in the verifer, i.e.
for tail calls, bpf_ld_[abs, ind], and exit path (for BPF_EXIT and
bpf_throw). Unify all of these into a common check_resource_leak
function to avoid code duplication.
Also update the error strings in selftests to the new ones in the same
change to ensure clean bisection.

Prior to this patch callbacks were handled as regular function calls,
execution of callback body was modeled exactly once.
This patch updates callbacks handling logic as follows:
- introduces a function push_callback_call() that schedules callback
body verification in env->head stack;
- updates prepare_func_exit() to reschedule callback body verification
upon BPF_EXIT;
- as calls to bpf_*_iter_next(), calls to callback invoking functions
are marked as checkpoints;
- is_state_visited() is updated to stop callback based iteration when
some identical parent state is found.
Paths with callback function invoked zero times are now verified first,
which leads to necessity to modify some selftests:
- the following negative tests required adding release/unlock/drop
calls to avoid previously masked unrelated error reports:
- cb_refs.c:underflow_prog
- exceptions_fail.c:reject_rbtree_add_throw
- exceptions_fail.c:reject_with_cp_reference
- the following precision tracking selftests needed change in expected
log trace:
- verifier_subprog_precision.c:callback_result_precise
(note: r0 precision is no longer propagated inside callback and
I think this is a correct behavior)
- verifier_subprog_precision.c:parent_callee_saved_reg_precise_with_callback
- verifier_subprog_precision.c:parent_stack_slot_precise_with_callback
