Merge branch 'bpf-allow-bpf_for-bpf_repeat-while-holding-spin'

Emil Tsalapatis says:

====================
In BPF programs, kfunc calls while holding a lock are not allowed
because kfuncs may sleep by default. The exception to this rule are the
functions in special_kfunc_list, which are guaranteed to not sleep. The
bpf_iter_num_* functions used by the bpf_for and bpf_repeat macros make
no function calls themselves, and as such are guaranteed to not sleep.
Add them to special_kfunc_list to allow them within BPF spinlock
critical sections.
