    Sasha Levin reported a suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() warning
    found while fuzzing with trinity that is similar to this one:

    Same can be triggered with PROVE_RCU (+ PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY) enabled
    from tun_attach_filter() when user space calls ioctl(tun_fd, TUN{ATTACH,
    DETACH}FILTER, ...) for adding/removing a BPF filter on tap devices.
    
    Since the fix in f91ff5b9 ("net: sk_{detach|attach}_filter() rcu
    fixes") sk_attach_filter()/sk_detach_filter() now dereferences the
    filter with rcu_dereference_protected(), checking whether socket lock
    is held in control path.
    
    Since its introduction in 99405162
    
     ("tun: socket filter support"),
    tap filters are managed under RTNL lock from __tun_chr_ioctl(). Thus the
    sock_owned_by_user(sk) doesn't apply in this specific case and therefore
    triggers the false positive.
    
    Extend the BPF API with __sk_attach_filter()/__sk_detach_filter() pair
    that is used by tap filters and pass in lockdep_rtnl_is_held() for the
    rcu_dereference_protected() checks instead.
