[PATCH bpf-next] bpf: bpf_local_storage: Always use bpf_mem_alloc in PREEMPT_RT

[Martin KaFai Lau]

From: Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@kernel.org>

In PREEMPT_RT, kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) is still not safe in non preemptible
context. bpf_mem_alloc must be used in PREEMPT_RT. This patch is
to enforce bpf_mem_alloc in the bpf_local_storage when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT
is enabled.

There is no need to adjust the gfp_flags passing to the
bpf_mem_cache_alloc_flags() which only honors the GFP_KERNEL.
The verifier has ensured GFP_KERNEL is passed only in sleepable context.

It has been an old issue since the first introduction of the
bpf_local_storage ~5 years ago, so this patch targets the bpf-next.

bpf_mem_alloc is needed to solve it, so the Fixes tag is set
to the commit when bpf_mem_alloc was first used in the bpf_local_storage.

Fixes: 08a7ce384e33 ("bpf: Use bpf_mem_cache_alloc/free in bpf_local_storage_elem")
