bpf: drop KF_ACQUIRE flag on BPF kfunc bpf_get_root_mem_cgroup()
With the BPF verifier now treating pointers to struct types returned
from BPF kfuncs as implicitly trusted by default, there is no need for
bpf_get_root_mem_cgroup() to be annotated with the KF_ACQUIRE flag.
bpf_get_root_mem_cgroup() does not acquire any references, but rather
simply returns a NULL pointer or a pointer to a struct mem_cgroup
object that is valid for the entire lifetime of the kernel.
This simplifies BPF programs using this kfunc by removing the
requirement to pair the call with bpf_put_mem_cgroup().
