It'd create a recusion and even crash in my system.

There could be a couple of workarounds but I think the simplest
one is to use a pre-allocated hash map.

We could fix the task local storage to use the safe BPF allocator,
but it takes time so let's change this until it happens actually.

I also got another report on the kfree_rcu path. I am also looking into this direction on using the BPF allocator.
