bpf: Allow local storage to be used from LSM programs
Adds support for both bpf_{sk, inode}_storage_{get, delete} to be used in LSM programs. These helpers are not used for tracing programs (currently) as their usage is tied to the life-cycle of the object and should only be used where the owning object won't be freed (when the owning object is passed as an argument to the LSM hook). Thus, they are safer to use in LSM hooks than tracing. Usage of local storage in tracing programs will probably follow a per function based whitelist approach. Since the UAPI helper signature for bpf_sk_storage expect a bpf_sock, it, leads to a compilation warning for LSM programs, it's also updated to accept a void * pointer instead.
