Introduce bpf_mem_alloc_check_size() to check whether the allocation
size exceeds the limitation for the kmalloc-equivalent allocator. The
upper limit for percpu allocation is LLIST_NODE_SZ bytes larger than
non-percpu allocation, so a percpu argument is added to the helper.
The helper will be used in the following patch to check whether the size
parameter passed to bpf_mem_alloc() is too big.

Commit 41a5db8d8161 ("Add support for non-fix-size percpu mem allocation")
added support for non-fix-size percpu memory allocation.
Such allocation will allocate percpu memory for all buckets on all
cpus and the memory consumption is in the order to quadratic.
For example, let us say, 4 cpus, unit size 16 bytes, so each
cpu has 16 * 4 = 64 bytes, with 4 cpus, total will be 64 * 4 = 256 bytes.
Then let us say, 8 cpus with the same unit size, each cpu
has 16 * 8 = 128 bytes, with 8 cpus, total will be 128 * 8 = 1024 bytes.
So if the number of cpus doubles, the number of memory consumption
will be 4 times. So for a system with large number of cpus, the
memory consumption goes up quickly with quadratic order.
For example, for 4KB percpu allocation, 128 cpus. The total memory
consumption will 4KB * 128 * 128 = 64MB. Things will become
worse if the number of cpus is bigger (e.g., 512, 1024, etc.)
In Commit 41a5db8d8161, the non-fix-size percpu memory allocation is
done in boot time, so for system with large number of cpus, the initial
percpu memory consumption is very visible. For example, for 128 cpu
system, the total percpu memory allocation will be at least
(16 + 32 + 64 + 96 + 128 + 196 + 256 + 512 + 1024 + 2048 + 4096)
* 128 * 128 = ~138MB.
which is pretty big. It will be even bigger for larger number of cpus.
Note that the current prefill also allocates 4 entries if the unit size
is less than 256. So on top of 138MB memory consumption, this will
add more consumption with
3 * (16 + 32 + 64 + 96 + 128 + 196 + 256) * 128 * 128 = ~38MB.
Next patch will try to reduce this memory consumption.
Later on, Commit 1fda5bb66ad8 ("bpf: Do not allocate percpu memory
at init stage") moved the non-fix-size percpu memory allocation
to bpf verificaiton stage. Once a particular bpf_percpu_obj_new()
is called by bpf program, the memory allocator will try to fill in
the cache with all sizes, causing the same amount of percpu memory
consumption as in the boot stage.
To reduce the initial percpu memory consumption for non-fix-size
percpu memory allocation, instead of filling the cache with all
supported allocation sizes, this patch intends to fill the cache
only for the requested size. As typically users will not use large
percpu data structure, this can save memory significantly.
For example, the allocation size is 64 bytes with 128 cpus.
Then total percpu memory amount will be 64 * 128 * 128 = 1MB,
much less than previous 138MB.

The objcg is a bpf_mem_alloc level property since all bpf_mem_cache's
are with the same objcg. This patch made such a property explicit.
The next patch will use this property to save and restore objcg
for percpu unit allocator.

For bpf_global_percpu_ma, the pointer passed to bpf_mem_free_rcu() is
allocated by kmalloc() and its size is fixed (16-bytes on x86-64). So
no matter which cache allocates the dynamic per-cpu area, on x86-64
cache[2] will always be used to free the per-cpu area.
Fix the unbalance by checking whether the bpf memory allocator is
per-cpu or not and use pcpu_alloc_size() instead of ksize() to
find the correct cache for per-cpu free.

Introduce bpf_mem_[cache_]free_rcu() similar to kfree_rcu().
Unlike bpf_mem_[cache_]free() that links objects for immediate reuse into
per-cpu free list the _rcu() flavor waits for RCU grace period and then moves
objects into free_by_rcu_ttrace list where they are waiting for RCU
task trace grace period to be freed into slab.
The life cycle of objects:
alloc: dequeue free_llist
free: enqeueu free_llist
free_rcu: enqueue free_by_rcu -> waiting_for_gp
free_llist above high watermark -> free_by_rcu_ttrace
after RCU GP waiting_for_gp -> free_by_rcu_ttrace
free_by_rcu_ttrace -> waiting_for_gp_ttrace -> slab

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.

The size of bpf_cpumask is fixed, so there is no need to allocate many
bpf_mem_caches for bpf_cpumask_ma, just one bpf_mem_cache is enough.
Also add comments for bpf_mem_alloc_init() in bpf_mem_alloc.h to prevent
future miuse.

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.
