bpf: Add helper macro bpf_for_each_reg_in_vstate



For a lot of use cases in future patches, we will want to modify the
state of registers part of some same 'group' (e.g. same ref_obj_id). It
won't just be limited to releasing reference state, but setting a type
flag dynamically based on certain actions, etc.

Hence, we need a way to easily pass a callback to the function that
iterates over all registers in current bpf_verifier_state in all frames
upto (and including) the curframe.

While in C++ we would be able to easily use a lambda to pass state and
the callback together, sadly we aren't using C++ in the kernel. The next
best thing to avoid defining a function for each case seems like
statement expressions in GNU C. The kernel already uses them heavily,
hence they can passed to the macro in the style of a lambda. The
statement expression will then be substituted in the for loop bodies.

Variables __state and __reg are set to current bpf_func_state and reg
for each invocation of the expression inside the passed in verifier
state.

Then, convert mark_ptr_or_null_regs, clear_all_pkt_pointers,
release_reference, find_good_pkt_pointers, find_equal_scalars to
use bpf_for_each_reg_in_vstate.
