bpf: Replace open coded recursion prevention in sys_bpf()
The required protection is that the caller cannot be migrated to a
different CPU as these functions end up in places which take either a hash
bucket lock or might trigger a kprobe inside the memory allocator. Both
scenarios can lead to deadlocks. The deadlock prevention is per CPU by
incrementing a per CPU variable which temporarily blocks the invocation of
BPF programs from perf and kprobes.
Replace the open coded preempt_[dis|en]able and __this_cpu_[inc|dec] pairs
with the new helper functions. These functions are already prepared to make
BPF work on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels. No functional change for !RT
kernels.
