Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 1/2] bpf: try to avoid kzalloc in cgroup/{s,g}etsockopt

When we attach a bpf program to cgroup/getsockopt any other getsockopt()
syscall starts incurring kzalloc/kfree cost. While, in general, it's
not an issue, sometimes it is, like in the case of TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE.
TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE (ab)uses getsockopt system call to implement
fastpath for incoming TCP, we don't want to have extra allocations in
there.

Let add a small buffer on the stack and use it for small (majority)
{s,g}etsockopt values. I've started with 128 bytes to cover
the options we care about (TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE which is 32 bytes
currently, with some planned extension to 64).

It seems natural to do the same for setsockopt, but it's a bit more
involved when the BPF program modifies the data (where we have to
kmalloc). The assumption is that for the majority of setsockopt
calls (which are doing pure BPF options or apply policy) this
will bring some benefit as well.

Collected some performance numbers using (on a 65k MTU localhost in a VM):
$ perf record -g -- ./tcp_mmap -s -z
$ ./tcp_mmap -H ::1 -z
$ ...
$ perf report --symbol-filter=__cgroup_bpf_run_filter_getsockopt

Without this patch:
     4.81%     0.07%  tcp_mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_>
            |
             --4.74%--__cgroup_bpf_run_filter_getsockopt
                       |
                       |--1.06%--__kmalloc
                       |
                       |--0.71%--lock_sock_nested
                       |
                       |--0.62%--__might_fault
                       |
                        --0.52%--release_sock

With the patch applied:
     3.29%     0.07%  tcp_mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_getsockopt
            |
             --3.22%--__cgroup_bpf_run_filter_getsockopt
                       |
                       |--0.66%--lock_sock_nested
                       |
                       |--0.57%--__might_fault
                       |
                        --0.56%--release_sock

So it saves about 1% of the system call. Unfortunately, we still get
2-3% of overhead due to another socket lock/unlock :-(
