Amery Hung f484f4a3e0 bpf: Replace bpf memory allocator with kmalloc_nolock() in local storage
Replace bpf memory allocator with kmalloc_nolock() to reduce memory
wastage due to preallocation.

In bpf_selem_free(), an selem now needs to wait for a RCU grace period
before being freed when reuse_now == true. Therefore, rcu_barrier()
should be always be called in bpf_local_storage_map_free().

In bpf_local_storage_free(), since smap->storage_ma is no longer needed
to return the memory, the function is now independent from smap.

Remove the outdated comment in bpf_local_storage_alloc(). We already
free selem after an RCU grace period in bpf_local_storage_update() when
bpf_local_storage_alloc() failed the cmpxchg since commit c0d63f3091
("bpf: Add bpf_selem_free()").
