bpf: Do btf_record_free outside map_free callback

Since the commit being fixed, we now miss freeing btf_record for local
storage maps which will have a btf_record populated in case they have
bpf_spin_lock element.

This was missed because I made the choice of offloading the job to free
kptr_off_tab (now btf_record) to the map_free callback when adding
support for kptrs.

Revisiting the reason for this decision, there is the possibility that
the btf_record gets used inside map_free callback (e.g. in case of maps
embedding kptrs) to iterate over them and free them, hence doing it
before the map_free callback would be leaking special field memory, and
do invalid memory access. The btf_record keeps module references which
is critical to ensure the dtor call made for referenced kptr is safe to
do.

If doing it after map_free callback, the map area is already freed, so
we cannot access bpf_map structure anymore.

To fix this and prevent such lapses in future, move bpf_map_free_record
out of the map_free callback, and do it after map_free by remembering
the btf_record pointer. There is no need to access bpf_map structure in
that case, and we can avoid missing this case when support for new map
types is added for other special fields.

Since a btf_record and its btf_field_offs are used together, for
consistency delay freeing of field_offs as well. While not a problem
right now, a lot of code assumes that either both record and field_offs
are set or none at once.

Note that in case of map of maps (outer maps), inner_map_meta->record is
only used during verification, not to free fields in map value, hence we
simply keep the bpf_map_free_record call as is in bpf_map_meta_free and
never touch map->inner_map_meta in bpf_map_free_deferred.

Add a comment making note of these details.
