docs: keep track of when prealloc of map elements were introduced
Kernel v4.6-rc1~91^2~108^2~6
commit 6c9059817432 ("bpf: pre-allocate hash map elements")
Introduced default preallocation of mem elements to solve a deadlock
(when kprobe'ing the memory allocator itself).
This change is also a performance enhancement.
The commit also introduced a map_flags on BPF_MAP_CREATE, which can disable
this preallocation again BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC.
