mm: introduce BPF kfuncs to deal with memcg pointers
This commit introduces two new BPF kfuncs for converting css pointers
to memcg pointers with proper reference counting: bpf_get_mem_cgroup()
and bpf_put_mem_cgroup().

^^^^^^^
Can this dereference a NULL css pointer? The function checks css for
NULL at line 42 with "if (css && css_tryget(css))", which suggests css
can be NULL. If a BPF program calls this function with a NULL css,
wouldn't it crash here before reaching that check?
