bpf: Support PTR_TO_MEM{,_OR_NULL} register spilling

commit 744ea4e3 upstream.

Add support for pointer to mem register spilling, to allow the verifier
to track pointers to valid memory addresses. Such pointers are returned
for example by a successful call of the bpf_ringbuf_reserve helper.

The patch was partially contributed by CyberArk Software, Inc.

Fixes: 457f4436
