bpf: Mark direct ld of stashed bpf_{rb,list}_node as non-owning ref

This patch enables the following pattern:

  /* mapval contains a __kptr pointing to refcounted local kptr */
  mapval = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&map, &idx);
  if (!mapval || !mapval->some_kptr) { /* omitted */ }

  p = bpf_refcount_acquire(&mapval->some_kptr);

Currently this doesn't work because bpf_refcount_acquire expects an
owning or non-owning ref. The verifier defines non-owning ref as a type:

  PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC | NON_OWN_REF

while mapval->some_kptr is PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED. It's possible
to do the refcount_acquire by first bpf_kptr_xchg'ing mapval->some_kptr
into a temp kptr, refcount_acquiring that, and xchg'ing back into
mapval, but this is unwieldy and shouldn't be necessary.

This patch modifies btf_ld_kptr_type such that user-allocated types are
marked MEM_ALLOC and if those types have a bpf_{rb,list}_node they're
marked NON_OWN_REF as well. Additionally, due to changes to
bpf_obj_drop_impl earlier in this series, rcu_protected_object now
returns true for all user-allocated types, resulting in
mapval->some_kptr being marked MEM_RCU.

After this patch's changes, mapval->some_kptr is now:

  PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC | NON_OWN_REF | MEM_RCU

which results in it passing the non-owning ref test, and the motivating
example passing verification.

Future work will likely get rid of special non-owning ref lifetime logic
in the verifier, at which point we'll be able to delete the NON_OWN_REF
flag entirely.
