bpf: Fix potentially incorrect results with bpf_get_local_storage()

Commit b910eaaa ("bpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_get_local_storage()
helper") fixed a bug for bpf_get_local_storage() helper so different tasks
won't mess up with each other's percpu local storage.

The percpu data contains 8 slots so it can hold up to 8 contexts (same or
different tasks), for 8 different program runs, at the same time. This in
general is sufficient. But our internal testing showed the following warning
multiple times:

Using drgn [0] to dump the percpu buffer contents showed that on this CPU
slot 0 is still available, but slots 1-7 are occupied and those tasks in
slots 1-7 mostly don't exist any more. So we might have issues in
bpf_cgroup_storage_unset().

Further debugging confirmed that there is a bug in bpf_cgroup_storage_unset().
Currently, it tries to unset "current" slot with searching from the start.
So the following sequence is possible:

  1. A task is running and claims slot 0
  2. Running BPF program is done, and it checked slot 0 has the "task"
     and ready to reset it to NULL (not yet).
  3. An interrupt happens, another BPF program runs and it claims slot 1
     with the *same* task.
  4. The unset() in interrupt context releases slot 0 since it matches "task".
  5. Interrupt is done, the task in process context reset slot 0.

At the end, slot 1 is not reset and the same process can continue to occupy
slots 2-7 and finally, when the above step 1-5 is repeated again, step 3 BPF
program won't be able to claim an empty slot and a warning will be issued.

To fix the issue, for unset() function, we should traverse from the last slot
to the first. This way, the above issue can be avoided.

The same reverse traversal should also be done in bpf_get_local_storage() helper
itself. Otherwise, incorrect local storage may be returned to BPF program.
