bpf: Do btf_record_free outside map_free callback
Since the commit being fixed, we now miss freeing btf_record for local storage maps which will have a btf_record populated in case they have bpf_spin_lock element. This was missed because I made the choice of offloading the job to free kptr_off_tab (now btf_record) to the map_free callback when adding support for kptrs. Revisiting the reason for this decision, there is the possibility that the btf_record gets used inside map_free callback (e.g. in case of maps embedding kptrs) to iterate over them and free them, hence doing it before the map_free callback would be leaking special field memory, and do invalid memory access. The btf_record keeps module references which is critical to ensure the dtor call made for referenced kptr is safe to do. If doing it after map_free callback, the map area is already freed, so we cannot access bpf_map structure anymore. To fix this and prevent such lapses in future, move bpf_map_free_record out of the map_free callback, and do it after map_free by remembering the btf_record pointer. There is no need to access bpf_map structure in that case, and we can avoid missing this case when support for new map types is added for other special fields. Since a btf_record and its btf_field_offs are used together, for consistency delay freeing of field_offs as well. While not a problem right now, a lot of code assumes that either both record and field_offs are set or none at once. Note that in case of map of maps (outer maps), inner_map_meta->record is only used during verification, not to free fields in map value, hence we simply keep the bpf_map_free_record call as is in bpf_map_meta_free and never touch map->inner_map_meta in bpf_map_free_deferred. Add a comment making note of these details.
