When experimenting with bpf_send_signal() helper in our production
environment (5.2 based), we experienced a deadlock in NMI mode:

The above call stack is actually very similar to an issue
reported by Commit eac9153f2b58 ("bpf/stackmap: Fix deadlock with
rq_lock in bpf_get_stack()") by Song Liu. The only difference is
bpf_send_signal() helper instead of bpf_get_stack() helper.

The above deadlock is triggered with a perf_sw_event.
Similar to Commit eac9153f2b58, the above reproducer used tracepoint
point sched/sched_switch so the issue can be easily catched.

The deadlock can be reproduced.

Similar to Song's fix, the fix is to delay sending signal if
irqs is disabled to avoid deadlocks involving with rq_lock.
With this change, my above stress-test in our production system
won't cause deadlock any more.

I also implemented a scale-down version of reproducer in the
selftest (a subsequent commit). With latest bpf-next,
it complains for the following deadlock.

  [   32.853148] Chain exists of:
  [   32.853148]   &(&sighand->siglock)->rlock --> &p->pi_lock --> &rq->lock
  [   32.853148]
  [   32.854451]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:
  [   32.854451]
  [   32.855173]        CPU0                    CPU1

  [   32.856278]   lock(&rq->lock);
  [   32.856671]                                lock(&p->pi_lock);
  [   32.857332]                                lock(&rq->lock);
  [   32.857999]   lock(&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock);

  Deadlock happens on CPU0 when it tries to acquire &sighand->siglock
  but it has been held by CPU1 and CPU1 tries to grab &rq->lock
  and cannot get it.

  This is not exactly the callstack in our production environment,
  but sympotom is similar and both locks are using spin_lock_irqsave()
  to acquire the lock, and both involves rq_lock. The fix to delay
  sending signal when irq is disabled also fixed this issue.
