BPF helpers bpf_task_storage_[get|delete] could hold two locks:
bpf_local_storage_map_bucket->lock and bpf_local_storage->lock. Calling
these helpers from fentry/fexit programs on functions in bpf_*_storage.c
may cause deadlock on either locks.

Prevent such deadlock with a per cpu counter, bpf_task_storage_busy, which
is similar to bpf_prog_active. We need this counter to be global, because
the two locks here belong to two different objects: bpf_local_storage_map
and bpf_local_storage. If we pick one of them as the owner of the counter,
it is still possible to trigger deadlock on the other lock. For example,
if bpf_local_storage_map owns the counters, it cannot prevent deadlock
on bpf_local_storage->lock when two maps are used.
