bpf: fix BPF_PROG_QUERY OOB write and cgroup backward compat

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: fix BPF_PROG_QUERY OOB write and cgroup backward compat BPF_PROG_QUERY writes back the 'query.revision' field unconditionally to userspace. If userspace passes a smaller 'bpf_attr' structure (e.g. 40 bytes, which was the layout before the addition of 'query.revision'), the kernel performs an out-of-bounds write. Fix this by propagating the user-provided attribute size 'uattr_size' down to the cgroup query handlers, and conditionally skipping writing the revision field to userspace when the provided buffer size is insufficient. query.revision in bpf_mprog_query is structurally identical to the cgroup case: a late tail field, written unconditionally. But the backward-compat hazard is not the same. The min-historical-size test is per command, and bpf_mprog_query only serves attach types that were born with revision in the struct: - tcx_prog_query -> BPF_TCX_INGRESS/EGRESS - netkit_prog_query -> BPF_NETKIT_PRIMARY/PEER tcx, netkit, the revision field, and bpf_mprog_query itself all landed in the same v6.6 merge window (053c8e1f235d added the mprog query API + revision; tcx in e420bed02507, netkit in 35dfaad7188c). There has never been a tcx/netkit BPF_PROG_QUERY userspace that doesn't know about revision. So for these commands the minimum legitimate struct already covers offset 56-64 — no old binary can be broken here. Contrast with cgroup: BPF_PROG_QUERY on cgroup attach types shipped in 2017; revision write-back was bolted on years later (120933984460). That path has a real population of pre-revision callers.
