[ Upstream commit ace2bee839e08df324cb320763258dfd72e6120e ]

GFP_ATOMIC doesn't cooperate well with memcg pressure so far, especially
if we allocate too much GFP_ATOMIC memory. For example, when we set the
memcg limit to limit a non-preallocated bpf memory, the GFP_ATOMIC can
easily break the memcg limit by force charge. So it is very dangerous to
use GFP_ATOMIC in non-preallocated case. One way to make it safe is to
remove __GFP_HIGH from GFP_ATOMIC, IOW, use (__GFP_ATOMIC |
__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM) instead, then it will be limited if we allocate
too much memory. There's a plan to completely remove __GFP_ATOMIC in the
mm side[1], so let's use GFP_NOWAIT instead.

We introduced BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC is because full map pre-allocation is
too memory expensive for some cases. That means removing __GFP_HIGH
doesn't break the rule of BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC, but has the same goal with
it-avoiding issues caused by too much memory. So let's remove it.

This fix can also apply to other run-time allocations, for example, the
allocation in lpm trie, local storage and devmap. So let fix it
consistently over the bpf code

It also fixes a typo in the comment.
