This patch adds a few bpf mem allocator functions which will
be used in the bpf_local_storage in a later patch.
bpf_mem_cache_alloc_flags(..., gfp_t flags) is added. When the
flags == GFP_KERNEL, it will fallback to __alloc(..., GFP_KERNEL).
bpf_local_storage knows its running context is sleepable (GFP_KERNEL)
and provides a better guarantee on memory allocation.
bpf_local_storage has some uncommon cases that its selem
cannot be reused immediately. It handles its own
rcu_head and goes through a rcu_trace gp and then free it.
bpf_mem_cache_raw_free() is added for direct free purpose
without leaking the LLIST_NODE_SZ internal knowledge.
During free time, the 'struct bpf_mem_alloc *ma' is no longer
available. However, the caller should know if it is
percpu memory or not and it can call different raw_free functions.
bpf_local_storage does not support percpu value, so only
the non-percpu 'bpf_mem_cache_raw_free()' is added in
this patch.
