[PATCH rfc 06/12] mm: introduce bpf_get_root_mem_cgroup() bpf kfunc

[Roman Gushchin <roman.gushchin@linux.dev>]

Introduce a bpf kfunc to get a trusted pointer to the root memory
cgroup. It's very handy to traverse the full memcg tree, e.g.
for handling a system-wide OOM.

It's possible to obtain this pointer by traversing the memcg tree
up from any known memcg, but it's sub-optimal and makes bpf programs
more complex and less efficient.

bpf_get_root_mem_cgroup() has a KF_ACQUIRE | KF_RET_NULL semantics,
however in reality it's not necessarily to bump the corresponding
reference counter - root memory cgroup is immortal, reference counting
is skipped, see css_get(). Once set, root_mem_cgroup is always a valid
memcg pointer. It's safe to call bpf_put_mem_cgroup() for the pointer
obtained with bpf_get_root_mem_cgroup(), it's effectively a no-op.
