Thanks for separating this mechanical name change in a separate patch.
It is much easier to follow.  This patch looks good.

A minor thought is, when I look at unlink_map() and unlink_storage(),
it keeps me looking back for the lock situation.  I think
the main reason is the bpf_selem_unlink_map() is locked but
bpf_selem_unlink_storage() is unlocked now.  May be:

bpf_selem_unlink_map()		=> bpf_selem_unlink_map_locked()
bpf_selem_link_map()		=> bpf_selem_link_map_locked()
__bpf_selem_unlink_storage() 	=> bpf_selem_unlink_storage_locked()
bpf_link_storage() means unlocked
bpf_unlink_storage() means unlocked.

I think it could be one follow-up patch later instead of interrupting
multiple patches in this set for this minor thing.  For now, lets
continue with this and remember default is nolock for storage.

I will continue tomorrow.
