Introduce bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() to properly handle errors returned
from rqspinlock in bpf_local_storage_map_free() and
bpf_local_storage_destroy() where the operation must succeeds.

The idea of bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() is to allow an selem to be
partially linked and use atomic operation on a bit field, selem->state,
to determine when and who can free the selem if any unlink under lock
fails. An selem initially is fully linked to a map and a local storage.
Under normal circumstances, bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() will be able to
grab locks and unlink a selem from map and local storage in sequeunce,
just like bpf_selem_unlink(), and then free it after an RCU grace period.
However, if any of the lock attempts fails, it will only clear
SDATA(selem)->smap or selem->local_storage depending on the caller and
set SELEM_MAP_UNLINKED or SELEM_STORAGE_UNLINKED according to the
caller. Then, after both map_free() and destroy() see the selem and the
state becomes SELEM_UNLINKED, one of two racing caller can succeed in
cmpxchg the state from SELEM_UNLINKED to SELEM_TOFREE, ensuring no
double free or memory leak.

To make sure bpf_obj_free_fields() is done only once and when map is
still present, it is called when unlinking an selem from b->list under
b->lock.

To make sure uncharging memory is done only when the owner is still
present in map_free(), block destroy() from returning until there is no
pending map_free().

Since smap may not be valid in destroy(), bpf_selem_unlink_nofail()
skips bpf_selem_unlink_storage_nolock_misc() when called from destroy().
This is okay as bpf_local_storage_destroy() will return the remaining
amount of memory charge tracked by mem_charge to the owner to uncharge.
It is also safe to skip clearing local_storage->owner and owner_storage
as the owner is being freed and no users or bpf programs should be able
to reference the owner and using local_storage.

Finally, access of selem, SDATA(selem)->smap and selem->local_storage
are racy. Callers will protect these fields with RCU.
