bpf: Introduce bpf sk local storage

After allowing a bpf prog to
- directly read the skb->sk ptr
- get the fullsock bpf_sock by "bpf_sk_fullsock()"
- get the bpf_tcp_sock by "bpf_tcp_sock()"
- get the listener sock by "bpf_get_listener_sock()"
- avoid duplicating the fields of "(bpf_)sock" and "(bpf_)tcp_sock"
  into different bpf running context.

this patch is another effort to make bpf's network programming
more intuitive to do (together with memory and performance benefit).

When bpf prog needs to store data for a sk, the current practice is to
define a map with the usual 4-tuples (src/dst ip/port) as the key.
If multiple bpf progs require to store different sk data, multiple maps
have to be defined.  Hence, wasting memory to store the duplicated
keys (i.e. 4 tuples here) in each of the bpf map.
[ The smallest key could be the sk pointer itself which requires
  some enhancement in the verifier and it is a separate topic. ]

Also, the bpf prog needs to clean up the elem when sk is freed.
Otherwise, the bpf map will become full and un-usable quickly.
The sk-free tracking currently could be done during sk state
transition (e.g. BPF_SOCK_OPS_STATE_CB).

The size of the map needs to be predefined which then usually ended-up
with an over-provisioned map in production.  Even the map was re-sizable,
while the sk naturally come and go away already, this potential re-size
operation is arguably redundant if the data can be directly connected
to the sk itself instead of proxy-ing through a bpf map.

This patch introduces sk->sk_bpf_storage to provide local storage space
at sk for bpf prog to use.  The space will be allocated when the first bpf
prog has created data for this particular sk.

The design optimizes the bpf prog's lookup (and then optionally followed by
an inline update).  bpf_spin_lock should be used if the inline update needs
to be protected.

BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE:
-----------------------
To define a bpf "sk-local-storage", a BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE map (new in
this patch) needs to be created.  Multiple BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE maps can
be created to fit different bpf progs' needs.  The map enforces
BTF to allow printing the sk-local-storage during a system-wise
sk dump (e.g. "ss -ta") in the future.

The purpose of a BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE map is not for lookup/update/delete
a "sk-local-storage" data from a particular sk.
Think of the map as a meta-data (or "type") of a "sk-local-storage".  This
particular "type" of "sk-local-storage" data can then be stored in any sk.

The main purposes of this map are mostly:
1. Define the size of a "sk-local-storage" type.
2. Provide a similar syscall userspace API as the map (e.g. lookup/update,
   map-id, map-btf...etc.)
3. Keep track of all sk's storages of this "type" and clean them up
   when the map is freed.

sk->sk_bpf_storage:
------------------
The main lookup/update/delete is done on sk->sk_bpf_storage (which
is a "struct bpf_sk_storage").  When doing a lookup,
the "map" pointer is now used as the "key" to search on the
sk_storage->list.  The "map" pointer is actually serving
as the "type" of the "sk-local-storage" that is being
requested.

To allow very fast lookup, it should be as fast as looking up an
array at a stable-offset.  At the same time, it is not ideal to
set a hard limit on the number of sk-local-storage "type" that the
system can have.  Hence, this patch takes a cache approach.
The last search result from sk_storage->list is cached in
sk_storage->cache[] which is a stable sized array.  Each
"sk-local-storage" type has a stable offset to the cache[] array.
In the future, a map's flag could be introduced to do cache
opt-out/enforcement if it became necessary.

The cache size is 16 (i.e. 16 types of "sk-local-storage").
Programs can share map.  On the program side, having a few bpf_progs
running in the networking hotpath is already a lot.  The bpf_prog
should have already consolidated the existing sock-key-ed map usage
to minimize the map lookup penalty.  16 has enough runway to grow.

All sk-local-storage data will be removed from sk->sk_bpf_storage
during sk destruction.

bpf_sk_storage_get() and bpf_sk_storage_delete():
------------------------------------------------
Instead of using bpf_map_(lookup|update|delete)_elem(),
the bpf prog needs to use the new helper bpf_sk_storage_get() and
bpf_sk_storage_delete().  The verifier can then enforce the
ARG_PTR_TO_SOCKET argument.  The bpf_sk_storage_get() also allows to
"create" new elem if one does not exist in the sk.  It is done by
the new BPF_SK_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE flag.  An optional value can also be
provided as the initial value during BPF_SK_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE.
The BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE also supports bpf_spin_lock.  Together,
it has eliminated the potential use cases for an equivalent
bpf_map_update_elem() API (for bpf_prog) in this patch.

Misc notes:
----------
1. map_get_next_key is not supported.  From the userspace syscall
   perspective,  the map has the socket fd as the key while the map
   can be shared by pinned-file or map-id.

   Since btf is enforced, the existing "ss" could be enhanced to pretty
   print the local-storage.

   Supporting a kernel defined btf with 4 tuples as the return key could
   be explored later also.

2. The sk->sk_lock cannot be acquired.  Atomic operations is used instead.
   e.g. cmpxchg is done on the sk->sk_bpf_storage ptr.
   Please refer to the source code comments for the details in
   synchronization cases and considerations.

3. The mem is charged to the sk->sk_omem_alloc as the sk filter does.

Benchmark:
---------
Here is the benchmark data collected by turning on
the "kernel.bpf_stats_enabled" sysctl.
Two bpf progs are tested:

One bpf prog with the usual bpf hashmap (max_entries = 8192) with the
sk ptr as the key. (verifier is modified to support sk ptr as the key
That should have shortened the key lookup time.)

Another bpf prog is with the new BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE.

Both are storing a "u32 cnt", do a lookup on "egress_skb/cgroup" for
each egress skb and then bump the cnt.  netperf is used to drive
data with 4096 connected UDP sockets.
