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.
