bpf: Convert ringbuf map to rqspinlock

Convert the raw spinlock used by BPF ringbuf to rqspinlock. Currently,
we have an open syzbot report of a potential deadlock. In addition, the
ringbuf can fail to reserve spuriously under contention from NMI
context.

It is potentially attractive to enable unconstrained usage (incl. NMIs)
while ensuring no deadlocks manifest at runtime, perform the conversion
to rqspinlock to achieve this.

This change was benchmarked for BPF ringbuf's multi-producer contention
case on an Intel Sapphire Rapids server, with hyperthreading disabled
and performance governor turned on. 5 warm up runs were done for each
case before obtaining the results.

Before (raw_spinlock_t):

There's a fair amount of noise in the benchmark, with numbers on reruns
going up and down by 10%, so all changes are in the range of this
disturbance, and we see no major regressions.
