bpf: Generalize bpf_sk_storage
Refactor the functionality in bpf_sk_storage.c so that concept of
storage linked to kernel objects can be extended to other objects like
inode, task_struct etc.
Each new local storage will still be a separate map and provide its own
set of helpers. This allows for future object specific extensions and
still share a lot of the underlying implementation.
This includes the changes suggested by Martin in:
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200725013047.4006241-1-kafai@fb.com/
adding new map operations to support bpf_local_storage maps:
* storages for different kernel objects to optionally have different
memory charging strategy (map_local_storage_charge,
map_local_storage_uncharge)
* Functionality to extract the storage pointer from a pointer to the
owning object (map_owner_storage_ptr)
