In preparation for allowing multiple attachments of freplace programs, move
the references to the target program and trampoline into the
bpf_tracing_link structure when that is created. To do this atomically,
introduce a new mutex in prog->aux to protect writing to the two pointers
to target prog and trampoline, and rename the members to make it clear that
they are related.

With this change, it is no longer possible to attach the same tracing
program multiple times (detaching in-between), since the reference from the
tracing program to the target disappears on the first attach. However,
since the next patch will let the caller supply an attach target, that will
also make it possible to attach to the same place multiple times.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
