[PATCH v3 1/2] bpf: restore the ebpf program ID for BPF_AUDIT_UNLOAD and PERF_BPF_EVENT_PROG_UNLOAD

When changing the ebpf program put() routines to support being called
from within IRQ context the program ID was reset to zero prior to
calling the perf event and audit UNLOAD record generators, which
resulted in problems as the ebpf program ID was bogus (always zero).
This patch addresses this problem by removing an unnecessary call to
bpf_prog_free_id() in __bpf_prog_offload_destroy() and adjusting
__bpf_prog_put() to only call bpf_prog_free_id() after audit and perf
have finished their bpf program unload tasks in
bpf_prog_put_deferred().  For the record, no one can determine, or
remember, why it was necessary to free the program ID, and remove it
from the IDR, prior to executing bpf_prog_put_deferred();
regardless, both Stanislav and Alexei agree that the approach in this
patch should be safe.

It is worth noting that when moving the bpf_prog_free_id() call, the
do_idr_lock parameter was forced to true as the ebpf devs determined
this was the correct as the do_idr_lock should always be true.  The
do_idr_lock parameter will be removed in a follow-up patch, but it
was kept here to keep the patch small in an effort to ease any stable
backports.

I also modified the bpf_audit_prog() logic used to associate the
AUDIT_BPF record with other associated records, e.g. @ctx != NULL.
Instead of keying off the operation, it now keys off the execution
context, e.g. '!in_irg && !irqs_disabled()', which is much more
appropriate and should help better connect the UNLOAD operations with
the associated audit state (other audit records).
