Its not at all clear where the corresponding rcu_read_lock() is at.

bpf programs of all types are always executing under rcu_read_lock().
This is fundamental for maps and majority of the helpers
that's why there is no WARN_ON(rcu_read_lock_held) in this helper,
since we already have it in many other places.
The rcu_read_lock() for kprobe type is in trace_call_bpf().
