docs/bpf: Add documentation for new cgroup local storage

Add some descriptions and examples for BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE.
Also illustate the major difference between BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE
and BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE and recommend to use
BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE instead of BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE
in the end.

+BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE
+=========================
+
+The ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` map type represents a local fix-sized
+storage for cgroups. It is only available with ``CONFIG_CGROUPS``.
+The programs are made available by the same Kconfig. The
+data for a particular cgroup can be retrieved by looking up the map
+with that cgroup.
+
+This document describes the usage and semantics of the
+``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` map type.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+The map key must be ``sizeof(int)`` representing a cgroup fd.
+To access the storage in a program, use ``bpf_cgrp_storage_get``::
+
+    void *bpf_cgrp_storage_get(struct bpf_map *map, struct cgroup *cgroup, void *value, u64 flags)
+
+``flags`` could be 0 or ``BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE`` which indicates that
+a new local storage will be created if one does not exist.
+
+The local storage can be removed with ``bpf_cgrp_storage_delete``::
+
+    long bpf_cgrp_storage_delete(struct bpf_map *map, struct cgroup *cgroup)
+
+The map is available to all program types.
+
+Examples
+========
+
+A BPF program example with BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE::
+
+    #include <vmlinux.h>
+    #include <bpf/bpf_helpers.h>
+    #include <bpf/bpf_tracing.h>
+
+    struct {
+            __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE);
+            __uint(map_flags, BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC);
+            __type(key, int);
+            __type(value, long);
+    } cgrp_storage SEC(".maps");
+
+    SEC("tp_btf/sys_enter")
+    int BPF_PROG(on_enter, struct pt_regs *regs, long id)
+    {
+            struct task_struct *task = bpf_get_current_task_btf();
+            long *ptr;
+
+            ptr = bpf_cgrp_storage_get(&cgrp_storage, task->cgroups->dfl_cgrp, 0,
+                                       BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE);
+            if (ptr)
+                __sync_fetch_and_add(ptr, 1);
+
+            return 0;
+    }
+
+Userspace accessing map declared above::
+
+    #include <linux/bpf.h>
+    #include <linux/libbpf.h>
+
+    __u32 map_lookup(struct bpf_map *map, int cgrp_fd)
+    {
+            __u32 *value;
+            value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(bpf_map__fd(map), &cgrp_fd);
+            if (value)
+                return *value;
+            return 0;
+    }
+
+Difference Between BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE and BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE
+============================================================================
+
+The old cgroup storage map ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE`` has been marked as
+deprecated (renamed to ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED``). The new
+``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` map should be used instead. The following
+illusates the main difference between ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` and
+``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED``.
+
+(1). ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` can be used by all program types while
+     ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED`` is available only to cgroup program types
+     like BPF_CGROUP_INET_INGRESS or BPF_CGROUP_SOCK_OPS, etc.
+
+(2). ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` supports local storage for more than one
+     cgroup while ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED`` only supports one cgroup
+     which is attached by a BPF program.
+
+(3). ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED`` allocates local storage at attach time so
+     ``bpf_get_local_storage()`` always returns non-NULL local storage.
+     ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` allocates local storage at runtime so
+     it is possible that ``bpf_cgrp_storage_get()`` may return null local storage.
+     To avoid such null local storage issue, user space can do
+     ``bpf_map_update_elem()`` to pre-allocate local storage before a BPF program
+     is attached.
+
+(4). ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` supports deleting local storage by a BPF program
+     while ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED`` only deletes storage during
+     prog detach time.
+
+So overall, ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` supports all ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED``
+functionality and beyond. It is recommended to use ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE``
+instead of ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED``.
