Subject: [PATCH] bpf: fix bpf_prog_array_copy_to_user() issues

1. move copy_to_user out of rcu section to fix the following issue:

./include/linux/rcupdate.h:302 Illegal context switch in RCU read-side critical section!

2. move *prog under rcu, since it's not ok to dereference it afterwards

3. in a rare case of prog array being swapped between bpf_prog_array_length() and bpf_prog_array_copy_to_user() calls make sure to copy zeros to user space, so the user doesn't walk over uninited prog_ids while kernel reported uattr->query.prog_cnt > 0
