bpf: Use smaller low/high marks for percpu allocation


Currently, refill low/high marks are set with the assumption
of normal non-percpu memory allocation. For example, for
an allocation size 256, for non-percpu memory allocation,
low mark is 32 and high mark is 96, resulting in the
batch allocation of 48 elements and the allocated memory
will be 48 * 256 = 12KB for this particular cpu.
Assuming an 128-cpu system, the total memory consumption
across all cpus will be 12K * 128 = 1.5MB memory.

This might be okay for non-percpu allocation, but may not be
good for percpu allocation, which will consume 1.5MB * 128 = 192MB
memory in the worst case if every cpu has a chance of memory
allocation.

In practice, percpu allocation is very rare compared to
non-percpu allocation. So let us have smaller low/high marks
which can avoid unnecessary memory consumption.
