I'd make is_sleepable a parameter for push_async_cb() instead of a field
in struct bpf_subprog_info.
I had to spend some time convincing myself that bpf_subprog_info->is_sleepable
does not have to be computed before do_check() in check_cfg(),
or what would happen if same callback is passed as both sleepable and
non-sleepable callback. These questions won't arise if this is a parameter.
