User space might be creating and destroying a lot of hash maps. Synchronous
rcu_barrier-s in a destruction path of hash map delay freeing of hash buckets
and other map memory and may cause artificial OOM situation under stress.
Optimize rcu_barrier usage between bpf hash map and bpf_mem_alloc:
- remove rcu_barrier from hash map, since htab doesn't use call_rcu
directly and there are no callback to wait for.
- bpf_mem_alloc has call_rcu_in_progress flag that indicates pending callbacks.
Use it to avoid barriers in fast path.
- When barriers are needed copy bpf_mem_alloc into temp structure
and wait for rcu barrier-s in the worker to let the rest of
hash map freeing to proceed.

Extend bpf_mem_alloc to cache free list of fixed size per-cpu allocations.
Once such cache is created bpf_mem_cache_alloc() will return per-cpu objects.
bpf_mem_cache_free() will free them back into global per-cpu pool after
observing RCU grace period.
per-cpu flavor of bpf_mem_alloc is going to be used by per-cpu hash maps.
The free list cache consists of tuples { llist_node, per-cpu pointer }
Unlike alloc_percpu() that returns per-cpu pointer
the bpf_mem_cache_alloc() returns a pointer to per-cpu pointer and
bpf_mem_cache_free() expects to receive it back.

Tracing BPF programs can attach to kprobe and fentry. Hence they
run in unknown context where calling plain kmalloc() might not be safe.
Front-end kmalloc() with minimal per-cpu cache of free elements.
Refill this cache asynchronously from irq_work.
BPF programs always run with migration disabled.
It's safe to allocate from cache of the current cpu with irqs disabled.
Free-ing is always done into bucket of the current cpu as well.
irq_work trims extra free elements from buckets with kfree
and refills them with kmalloc, so global kmalloc logic takes care
of freeing objects allocated by one cpu and freed on another.
struct bpf_mem_alloc supports two modes:
- When size != 0 create kmem_cache and bpf_mem_cache for each cpu.
This is typical bpf hash map use case when all elements have equal size.
- When size == 0 allocate 11 bpf_mem_cache-s for each cpu, then rely on
kmalloc/kfree. Max allocation size is 4096 in this case.
This is bpf_dynptr and bpf_kptr use case.
bpf_mem_alloc/bpf_mem_free are bpf specific 'wrappers' of kmalloc/kfree.
bpf_mem_cache_alloc/bpf_mem_cache_free are 'wrappers' of kmem_cache_alloc/kmem_cache_free.
The allocators are NMI-safe from bpf programs only. They are not NMI-safe in general.
