bpf: Adjust low/high watermarks in bpf_mem_cache

The same low/high watermarks for every bucket in bpf_mem_cache consume
significant amount of memory. Preallocating 64 elements of 4096 bytes each in
the free list is not efficient. Make low/high watermarks and batching value
dependent on element size. This change brings significant memory savings.
