To access per-task data, BPF program typically creates a hash table with
pid as the key. This is not ideal because:
  1. The use need to estimate requires size of the hash table, with may be
     inaccurate;
  2. Big hash tables are slow;
  3. To clean up the data properly during task terminations, the user need
     to write code.

Task local storage overcomes these issues and becomes a better option for
these per-task data. Task local storage is only available to BPF_LSM. Now
enable it for tracing programs.

The whole patch is not reported by kernel test robot. I think we should
drop this.
