bpf: Claim the per-CPU send_signal irq_work before filling it
irq_work_is_busy() cannot see the per-CPU send_signal_work while it is being filled: the check only matches after irq_work_queue() has claimed the work. A concurrent caller therefore passes it, both callers race for the same irq_work, and the loser's signal is silently lost along with its task reference while the queued work runs with a mix of both callers' fields. kprobe, tracepoint and perf_event programs exclude each other on the same CPU through bpf_prog_active, so for two callers to meet, one of the programs has to be a raw tracepoint or an fentry one. And since commit 87c544108b61 ("bpf: Send signals asynchronously if !preemptible") this path runs with IRQs enabled too, so a hard IRQ can interrupt the fill as well, not only an NMI. Found by code inspection and reproduced with a perf_event NMI program racing an fentry one. Claim the work through work->task itself: cmpxchg() it from NULL to the target task before touching the other fields, and set it back to NULL once the callback has consumed them. A context finding the work claimed returns the documented -EBUSY.
