bpf: Disallow NULLable pointers for trusted kfuncs

KF_TRUSTED_ARGS kfuncs currently have a subtle and insidious bug in
validating pointers to scalars. Say that you have a kfunc like the
following, which takes an array as the first argument:

bool bpf_cpumask_empty(const struct cpumask *cpumask)
{
	return cpumask_empty(cpumask);
}

...
BTF_ID_FLAGS(func, bpf_cpumask_empty, KF_TRUSTED_ARGS)
...

If a BPF program were to invoke the kfunc with a NULL argument, it would
crash the kernel. The reason is that struct cpumask is defined as a
bitmap, which is itself defined as an array, and is accessed as a memory
address by bitmap operations. So when the verifier analyzes the
register, it interprets it as a pointer to a scalar struct, which is an
array of size 8. check_mem_reg() then sees that the register is NULL and
returns 0, and the kfunc crashes when it passes it down to the cpumask
wrappers.

To fix this, this patch adds a check for KF_ARG_PTR_TO_MEM which
verifies that the register doesn't contain a possibly-NULL pointer if
the kfunc is KF_TRUSTED_ARGS.
