st_link->map is always written under update_mutex. The paths that read
st_link->map with rcu_read_lock() are not in the fast path, so they can
simply take update_mutex instead. Remove the __rcu annotation and replace
all RCU accessors with direct pointer reads under update_mutex. Use
READ_ONCE() in bpf_struct_ops_map_link_poll() which reads the pointer
without holding update_mutex.

It is a simplification change.
