The following warning was reported when running "./test_progs -a
link_api -a linked_list" on a RISC-V QEMU VM:

The warning is due to WARN_ON_ONCE(tgt->unit_size != c->unit_size) in
free_bulk(). The direct reason is that a object is allocated and
freed by bpf_mem_caches with different unit_size.

The root cause is that KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is 64 and there is no 96-bytes
slab cache in the specific VM. When linked_list test allocates a
72-bytes object through bpf_obj_new(), bpf_global_ma will allocate it
from a bpf_mem_cache with 96-bytes unit_size, but this bpf_mem_cache is
backed by 128-bytes slab cache. When the object is freed, bpf_mem_free()
uses ksize() to choose the corresponding bpf_mem_cache. Because the
object is allocated from 128-bytes slab cache, ksize() returns 128,
bpf_mem_free() chooses a 128-bytes bpf_mem_cache to free the object and
triggers the warning.

A similar warning will also be reported when using CONFIG_SLAB instead
of CONFIG_SLUB in a x86-64 kernel. Because CONFIG_SLUB defines
KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE as 8 but CONFIG_SLAB defines KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE as 32.

An alternative fix is to use kmalloc_size_round() in bpf_mem_alloc() to
choose a bpf_mem_cache which has the same unit_size with the backing
slab cache, but it may introduce performance degradation, so fix the
warning by adjusting the indexes in size_index according to the value of
KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE just like setup_kmalloc_cache_index_table() does.
