LGTM, thanks for cleaning this up. I left one drive-by comment /
observation below, but it's not a blocker for this patch / series.

The fact that callers have to disable migration like this in order to
safely free the memory feels a bit leaky. Is there any reason we can't
move this into bpf_mem_{cache_}free_rcu()?
