bpf: Use bpf_mem_cache_alloc/free for bpf_local_storage



This patch uses bpf_mem_cache_alloc/free for allocating and freeing
bpf_local_storage for task and cgroup storage.

The changes are similar to the previous patch. A few things that
worth to mention for bpf_local_storage:

The local_storage is freed when the last selem is deleted.
Before deleting a selem from local_storage, it needs to retrieve the
local_storage->smap because the bpf_selem_unlink_storage_nolock()
may have set it to NULL. Note that local_storage->smap may have
already been NULL when the selem created this local_storage has
been removed. In this case, call_rcu will be used to free the
local_storage.
Also, the bpf_ma (true or false) value is needed before calling
bpf_local_storage_free(). The bpf_ma can either be obtained from
the local_storage->smap (if available) or any of its selem's smap.
A new helper check_storage_bpf_ma() is added to obtain
bpf_ma for a deleting bpf_local_storage.

When bpf_local_storage_alloc getting a reused memory, all
fields are either in the correct values or will be initialized.
'cache[]' must already be all NULLs. 'list' must be empty.
Others will be initialized.
