Amery Hung c8be3da147 bpf: Prepare for bpf_selem_unlink_nofail()
The next patch will introduce bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() to handle
rqspinlock errors. bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() will allow an selem to be
partially unlinked from map or local storage. Save memory allocation
method in selem so that later an selem can be correctly freed even when
SDATA(selem)->smap is init to NULL.

In addition, keep track of memory charge to the owner in local storage
so that later bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() can return the correct memory
charge to the owner. Updating local_storage->mem_charge is protected by
local_storage->lock.

Finally, extract miscellaneous tasks performed when unlinking an selem
from local_storage into bpf_selem_unlink_storage_nolock_misc(). It will
be reused by bpf_selem_unlink_nofail().

This patch also takes the chance to remove local_storage->smap, which
is no longer used since commit f484f4a3e0 ("bpf: Replace bpf memory
allocator with kmalloc_nolock() in local storage").
