[PATCH RFC bpf-next v6 2/6] bpf: Add support for KF_ARG_PTR_TO_TIMER

[bentiss@kernel.org]

From: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi <memxor@gmail.com>

Introduce support for KF_ARG_PTR_TO_TIMER. The kfuncs will use bpf_timer
as argument and that will be recognized as timer argument by verifier.
bpf_timer_kern casting can happen inside kfunc, but using bpf_timer in
argument makes life easier for users who work with non-kern type in BPF
progs.

Fix up process_timer_func's meta argument usage (ignore if NULL) so that
we can share the same checks for helpers and kfuncs. meta argument is
only needed to ensure bpf_timer_init's timer and map arguments are
coming from the same map (map_uid logic is necessary for correct
inner-map handling).

No such concerns will be necessary for kfuncs as timer initialization
happens using helpers, hence pass NULL to process_timer_func from kfunc
argument handling code to ignore it.

changes in v6:
- used Kumar's version of the patch
- reverted `+BTF_ID(struct, bpf_timer_kern)`

changes in v5:
- also check for the reg offset

changes in v4:
- enforce KF_ARG_PTR_TO_TIMER to be of type PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE

new in v3 (split from v2 02/10)
