Patch set [1] implemented cgroup local storage BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE
similar to sk/task/inode local storage and old BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE
map is marked as deprecated since old BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE map can
only work with current cgroup.

Similarly, the existing BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE map
is a percpu version of BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE and only works
with current cgroup. But there is no replacement which can work
with arbitrary cgroup.

This patch set solved this problem but adding support for local
percpu kptr. The map value can have a percpu kptr field which holds
a bpf prog allocated percpu data. The below is an example,

   struct percpu_val_t {
     ... fields ...
   }

   struct map_value_t {
     struct percpu_val_t __percpu *percpu_data_ptr;
   }

In the above, 'map_value_t' is the map value type for a
BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE map. User can access 'percpu_data_ptr'
and then read/write percpu data. This covers BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE
and more. So BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE map type
is marked as deprecated.

In additional, local percpu kptr supports the same map type
as other kptrs including hash, lru_hash, array, sk/inode/task/cgrp
local storage. Currently, percpu data structure does not support
non-scalars or special fields (e.g., bpf_spin_lock, bpf_rb_root, etc.).
They can be supported in the future if there exist use cases.

Please for individual patches for details.

Changelog:
   v1 -> v2:
     - does not support special fields in percpu data structure.
     - rename __percpu attr to __percpu_kptr attr.
     - rename BPF_KPTR_PERCPU_REF to BPF_KPTR_PERCPU.
     - better code to handle bpf_{this,per}_cpu_ptr() helpers.
     - add more negative tests.
     - fix a bpftool related test failure.

There is a test failure for libbpf_str/bpf_map_type_str reported by CI,
I will fix it in the next revision.
