[GIT PULL] probes: Fixes for v7.3-rc1

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Linus,

Probes fixes for v7.3-rc1:

- kprobes: Protect kprobe_blacklist with RCU
  . RCU-protect kprobe_blacklist and use kfree_rcu() to prevent UAF
    races during module unloading and enable safe atomic lookups.
- tracing/probes: Fix multi-probe field use-after-free and BTF parsing
  . Multi-probe UAF fix: Duplicate field and type strings on
    trace_probe_event to prevent UAF when freeing primary probe.
  . BTF member lookup fixes:
    - Check the containing inner struct/union kflag when resolving
      anonymous members to ensure correct bitfield offset calculation.
    - Prevent unnamed bitfields from being pushed to anon_stack in
      btf_find_struct_member(), avoiding false lookup errors.
    - Fix code block indentation in get_bitoffset_of_field().
- uprobes: Error pointer safety
  . Guard free_trace_uprobe() with IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to avoid crashing
    during automatic cleanup when an error pointer is returned.
