bpf: Handle MEM_RCU type properly
Commit 9bb00b2895cb ("bpf: Add kfunc bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock()") introduced MEM_RCU and bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock() support. In that commit, a rcu pointer is tagged with both MEM_RCU and PTR_TRUSTED so that it can be passed into kfuncs or helpers as an argument. Martin raised a good question in [1] such that the rcu pointer, although being able to accessing the object, might have reference count of 0. This might cause a problem if the rcu pointer is passed to a kfunc which expects trusted arguments where ref count should be greater than 0. This patch makes the following changes related to MEM_RCU pointer: - MEM_RCU pointer might be NULL (PTR_MAYBE_NULL). - Introduce KF_RCU so MEM_RCU ptr can be acquired with a KF_RCU tagged kfunc which assumes ref count of rcu ptr could be zero. - For mem access 'b = ptr->a', say 'ptr' is a MEM_RCU ptr, and 'a' is tagged with __rcu as well. Let us mark 'b' as MEM_RCU | PTR_MAYBE_NULL.
