bpf: Allow syscall bpf programs to call non-recur helpers

Allow syscall programs to call non-recur helpers too since syscall bpf
programs runs in process context through bpf syscall, BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN,
and cannot run recursively.

bpf_task_storage_{get,set} have "_recur" versions that call trylock
instead of taking the lock directly to avoid deadlock when called by
bpf programs that run recursively. Currently, only bpf_lsm, bpf_iter,
struct_ops without private stack are allow to call the non-recur helpers
since they cannot be recursively called in another bpf program.
