bpf: Migrate dynptr file to kmalloc_nolock

Replace bpf_mem_alloc/bpf_mem_free with kmalloc_nolock/kfree_nolock for
bpf_dynptr_file_impl, continuing the migration away from bpf_mem_alloc
now that kmalloc can be used from NMI context.

freader_cleanup() runs before kfree_nolock() while the dynptr still
holds exclusive access, so plain kfree_nolock() is safe — no concurrent
readers can access the object.
