Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Fix excessive memory allocation in stack_map_alloc()

The 'n_buckets * (value_size + sizeof(struct stack_map_bucket))' part of the allocated memory for 'smap' is never used after the memlock accounting was removed, thus get rid of it.

[ Note, Daniel:

Commit b936ca643ade ("bpf: rework memlock-based memory accounting for maps") moved cost += n_buckets * (value_size + sizeof(struct stack_map_bucket)) up and therefore before the bpf_map_area_alloc() allocation, sigh. In a later step commit c85d69135a91 ("bpf: move memory size checks to bpf_map_charge_init()"), and the overflow checks of cost >= U32_MAX - PAGE_SIZE moved into bpf_map_charge_init(). And then 370868107bf6 ("bpf: Eliminate rlimit-based memory accounting for stackmap maps") finally removed the bpf_map_charge_init(). Anyway, the original code did the allocation same way as /after/ this fix. ]
