Joanne Koong b00fa38a9c bpf: Enable non-atomic allocations in local storage
Currently, local storage memory can only be allocated atomically
(GFP_ATOMIC). This restriction is too strict for sleepable bpf
programs.

In this patch, the verifier detects whether the program is sleepable,
and passes the corresponding GFP_KERNEL or GFP_ATOMIC flag as a
5th argument to bpf_task/sk/inode_storage_get. This flag will propagate
down to the local storage functions that allocate memory.

Please note that bpf_task/sk/inode_storage_update_elem functions are
invoked by userspace applications through syscalls. Preemption is
disabled before bpf_task/sk/inode_storage_update_elem is called, which
means they will always have to allocate memory atomically.
