bpf: Add alloc/xchg/direct_access support for local percpu kptr



Add two new kfunc's, bpf_percpu_obj_new_impl() and
bpf_percpu_obj_drop_impl(), to allocate a percpu obj.
Two functions are very similar to bpf_obj_new_impl()
and bpf_obj_drop_impl(). The major difference is related
to percpu handling.

    bpf_rcu_read_lock()
    struct val_t __percpu_kptr *v = map_val->percpu_data;
    ...
    bpf_rcu_read_unlock()

For a percpu data map_val like above 'v', the reg->type
is set as
	PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_PERCPU | MEM_RCU
if inside rcu critical section.

MEM_RCU marking here is similar to NON_OWN_REF as 'v'
is not a owning reference. But NON_OWN_REF is
trusted and typically inside the spinlock while
MEM_RCU is under rcu read lock. RCU is preferred here
since percpu data structures mean potential concurrent
access into its contents.

Also, bpf_percpu_obj_new_impl() is restricted such that
no pointers or special fields are allowed. Therefore,
the bpf_list_head and bpf_rb_root will not be supported
in this patch set to avoid potential memory leak issue
due to racing between bpf_obj_free_fields() and another
bpf_kptr_xchg() moving an allocated object to
bpf_list_head and bpf_rb_root.
