bpf: Prepare for memcg-based memory accounting for bpf maps

Bpf maps can be updated from an interrupt context and in such
case there is no process which can be charged. It makes the memory
accounting of bpf maps non-trivial.

Fortunately, after commit 4127c6504f25 ("mm: kmem: enable kernel
memcg accounting from interrupt contexts") and commit b87d8cefe43c
("mm, memcg: rework remote charging API to support nesting")
it's finally possible.

To make the ownership model simple and consistent, when the map
is created, the memory cgroup of the current process is recorded.
All subsequent allocations related to the bpf map are charged to
the same memory cgroup. It includes allocations made by any processes
(even if they do belong to a different cgroup) and from interrupts.

This commit introduces 3 new helpers, which will be used by following
commits to enable the accounting of bpf maps memory:
  - bpf_map_kmalloc_node()
  - bpf_map_kzalloc()
  - bpf_map_alloc_percpu()

They are wrapping popular memory allocation functions. They set
the active memory cgroup to the map's memory cgroup and add
__GFP_ACCOUNT to the passed gfp flags. Then they call into
the corresponding memory allocation function and restore
the original active memory cgroup.

These helpers are supposed to use everywhere except the map creation
path. During the map creation when the map structure is allocated by
itself, it cannot be passed to those helpers. In those cases default
memory allocation function will be used with the __GFP_ACCOUNT flag.
