Current max cgroup storage value size is 4k (PAGE_SIZE). The other local
storages accept up to 64k (BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_MAX_VALUE_SIZE). Let's align
max cgroup value size with the other storages.
For percpu, the max is 32k (PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE) because percpu
allocator is not happy about larger values.
netcnt test is extended to exercise those maximum values
(non-percpu max size is close to, but not real max).
v4:
* remove inner union (Andrii Nakryiko)
* keep net_cnt on the stack (Andrii Nakryiko)
v3:
* refine SIZEOF_BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_ELEM comment (Yonghong Song)
* anonymous struct in percpu_net_cnt & net_cnt (Yonghong Song)
* reorder free (Yonghong Song)
v2:
* cap max_value_size instead of BUILD_BUG_ON (Martin KaFai Lau)

This commit adds a bpf kselftest, which demonstrates how percpu
and shared cgroup local storage can be used for efficient lookup-free
network accounting.
Cgroup local storage provides generic memory area with a very efficient
lookup free access. To avoid expensive atomic operations for each
packet, per-cpu cgroup local storage is used. Each packet is initially
charged to a per-cpu counter, and only if the counter reaches certain
value (32 in this case), the charge is moved into the global atomic
counter. This allows to amortize atomic operations, keeping reasonable
accuracy.
The test also implements a naive network traffic throttling, mostly to
demonstrate the possibility of bpf cgroup--based network bandwidth
control.
Expected output:
./test_netcnt
test_netcnt:PASS
