bpf: stream: start using kmalloc_nolock()
89868e0 
BPF stream kfuncs need to be non-sleeping as they can be called from
programs running in any context, this requires a way to allocate memory
from any context. Currently, this is done by a custom per-CPU NMI-safe
bump allocation mechanism, backed by try_alloc_pages() and
free_pages_nolock() primitives.

As kmalloc_nolock() and kfree_nolock() primitives are available now, the
custom allocator can be removed in favor of these.
