bpf: Batch call_rcu callbacks instead of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU.

SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU makes kmem_caches non mergeable and slows down
kmem_cache_destroy. All bpf_mem_cache are safe to share across different maps
and programs. Convert SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU to batched call_rcu. This change
solves the memory consumption issue, avoids kmem_cache_destroy latency and
keeps bpf hash map performance the same.
