(traveling, sending from an untested setup, hope it reaches everyone)

There is a call to bpf_prog_free_id from __bpf_prog_offload_destroy which
tries to make offloaded program disappear from the idr when the netdev
goes offline. So I'm assuming that '!prog->aux->id' check in bpf_prog_free_id
is to handle that case where we do bpf_prog_free_id much earlier than the
rest of the __bpf_prog_put stuff.

+1 on removing do_idr_lock separately.

Given the __bpf_prog_offload_destroy path above, we still probably need
some flag to indicate that the id has been already removed from the idr?
