Enable support for kptrs in local storage maps by wiring up the freeing of these kptrs from map value. Freeing of bpf_local_storage_map is only delayed in case there are special fields, therefore bpf_selem_free_* path can also only dereference smap safely in that case. This is recorded using a bool utilizing a hole in bpF_local_storage_elem. It could have been tagged in the pointer value smap using the lowest bit (since alignment > 1), but since there was already a hole I went with the simpler option. Only the map structure freeing is delayed using RCU barriers, as the buckets aren't used when selem is being freed, so they can be freed once all readers of the bucket lists can no longer access it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
