bpf: Optimize call_rcu in non-preallocated hash map.
Doing call_rcu() million times a second becomes a bottle neck. Convert non-preallocated hash map from call_rcu to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. The rcu critical section is no longer observed for one htab element which makes non-preallocated hash map behave just like preallocated hash map. The map elements are released back to kernel memory after observing rcu critical section. This improves 'map_perf_test 4' performance from 100k events per second to 250k events per second. bpf_mem_alloc + percpu_counter + typesafe_by_rcu provide 10x performance boost to non-preallocated hash map and make it within few % of preallocated map while consuming fraction of memory.
