bpf: Allow storing referenced kptr in map

Extending the code in previous commits, introduce referenced kptr
support, which needs to be tagged using 'kptr_ref' tag instead. Unlike
unreferenced kptr, referenced kptr have a lot more restrictions. In
addition to the type matching, only a newly introduced bpf_kptr_xchg
helper is allowed to modify the map value at that offset. This transfers
the referenced pointer being stored into the map, releasing the
references state for the program, and returning the old value and
creating new reference state for the returned pointer.

Similar to unreferenced pointer case, return value for this case will
also be PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL. The reference for the returned pointer
must either be eventually released by calling the corresponding release
function, otherwise it must be transferred into another map.

It is also allowed to call bpf_kptr_xchg with a NULL pointer, to clear
the value, and obtain the old value if any.

BPF_LDX, BPF_STX, and BPF_ST cannot access referenced kptr. A future
commit will permit using BPF_LDX for such pointers, but attempt at
making it safe, since the lifetime of object won't be guaranteed.

There are valid reasons to enforce the restriction of permitting only
bpf_kptr_xchg to operate on referenced kptr. The pointer value must be
consistent in face of concurrent modification, and any prior values
contained in the map must also be released before a new one is moved
into the map. To ensure proper transfer of this ownership, bpf_kptr_xchg
returns the old value, which the verifier would require the user to
either free or move into another map, and releases the reference held
for the pointer being moved in.

In the future, direct BPF_XCHG instruction may also be permitted to work
like bpf_kptr_xchg helper.

Note that process_kptr_func doesn't have to call
check_helper_mem_access, since we already disallow rdonly/wronly flags
for map, which is what check_map_access_type checks, and we already
ensure the PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE refers to kptr by obtaining its off_desc,
so check_map_access is also not required.
