bpf: introduce per-cpu cgroup local storage
This commit introduced per-cpu cgroup local storage. Per-cpu cgroup local storage is very similar to simple cgroup storage (let's call it shared), except all the data is per-cpu. The main goal of per-cpu variant is to implement super fast counters (e.g. packet counters), which don't require neither lookups, neither atomic operations. >From userspace's point of view, accessing a per-cpu cgroup storage is similar to other per-cpu map types (e.g. per-cpu hashmaps and arrays). Writing to a per-cpu cgroup storage is not atomic, but is performed by copying longs, so some minimal atomicity is here, exactly as with other per-cpu maps.
