bpf: Use raw_spin_trylock() for pcpu_freelist_push/pop in NMI
[ Upstream commit 39d8f0d1026a990604770a658708f5845f7dbec0 ]
Recent improvements in LOCKDEP highlighted a potential A-A deadlock with
pcpu_freelist in NMI:

This is because pcpu_freelist_head.lock is accessed in both NMI and
non-NMI context. Fix this issue by using raw_spin_trylock() in NMI.
Since NMI interrupts non-NMI context, when NMI context tries to lock the
raw_spinlock, non-NMI context of the same CPU may already have locked a
lock and is blocked from unlocking the lock. For a system with N CPUs,
there could be N NMIs at the same time, and they may block N non-NMI
raw_spinlocks. This is tricky for pcpu_freelist_push(), where unlike
_pop(), failing _push() means leaking memory. This issue is more likely to
trigger in non-SMP system.
Fix this issue with an extra list, pcpu_freelist.extralist. The extralist
is primarily used to take _push() when raw_spin_trylock() failed on all
the per CPU lists. It should be empty most of the time. The following
table summarizes the behavior of pcpu_freelist in NMI and non-NMI:
non-NMI pop(): use _lock(); check per CPU lists first;
if all per CPU lists are empty, check extralist;
if extralist is empty, return NULL.
non-NMI push(): use _lock(); only push to per CPU lists.
NMI pop(): use _trylock(); check per CPU lists first;
if all per CPU lists are locked or empty, check extralist;
if extralist is locked or empty, return NULL.
NMI push(): use _trylock(); check per CPU lists first;
if all per CPU lists are locked; try push to extralist;
if extralist is also locked, keep trying on per CPU lists.
