With the introduction of the btf_type_tag "percpu", we can add a
MEM_PERCPU to identify those pointers that point to percpu memory.
The ability of differetiating percpu pointers from regular memory
pointers have two benefits:
1. It forbids unexpected use of percpu pointers, such as direct loads.
In kernel, there are special functions used for accessing percpu
memory. Directly loading percpu memory is meaningless. We already
have BPF helpers like bpf_per_cpu_ptr() and bpf_this_cpu_ptr() that
wrap the kernel percpu functions. So we can now convert percpu
pointers into regular pointers in a safe way.
2. Previously, bpf_per_cpu_ptr() and bpf_this_cpu_ptr() only work on
PTR_TO_PERCPU_BTF_ID, a special reg_type which describes static
percpu variables in kernel (we rely on pahole to encode them into
vmlinux BTF). Now, since we can identify __percpu tagged pointers,
we can also identify dynamically allocated percpu memory as well.
It means we can use bpf_xxx_cpu_ptr() on dynamic percpu memory.
This would be very convenient when accessing fields like
"cgroup->rstat_cpu".
