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.
