bpf: Support __uptr type tag in BTF
This patch introduces the "__uptr" type tag to BTF. It is to define
a pointer pointing to the user space memory. This patch adds BTF
logic to pass the "__uptr" type tag.
btf_find_kptr() is reused for the "__uptr" tag. The "__uptr" will only
be supported in the map_value of the task storage map. However,
btf_parse_struct_meta() also uses btf_find_kptr() but it is not
interested in "__uptr". This patch adds a "field_mask" argument
to btf_find_kptr() which will return BTF_FIELD_IGNORE if the
caller is not interested in a “__uptr” field.
btf_parse_kptr() is also reused to parse the uptr.
The btf_check_and_fixup_fields() is changed to do extra
checks on the uptr to ensure that its struct size is not larger
than PAGE_SIZE. It is not clear how a uptr pointing to a CO-RE
supported kernel struct will be used, so it is also not allowed now.
