bpf: Allow locking bpf_spin_lock global variables
Global variables reside in maps accessible using direct_value_addr callbacks, so giving each load instruction's rewrite a unique reg->id disallows us from holding locks which are global. The reason for preserving reg->id as a unique value for registers that may point to spin lock is that two separate lookups are treated as two separate memory regions, and any possible aliasing is ignored for the purposes of spin lock correctness. This is not great especially for the global variable case, which are served from maps that have max_entries == 1, i.e. they always lead to map values pointing into the same map value. So refactor the active_spin_lock into a 'active_lock' structure which represents the lock identity, and instead of the reg->id, remember two fields, a pointer and the reg->id. The pointer will store reg->map_ptr or reg->btf. It's only necessary to distinguish for the id == 0 case of global variables, but always setting the pointer to a non-NULL value and using the pointer to check whether the lock is held simplifies code in the verifier. This is generic enough to allow it for global variables, map lookups, and allocated objects at the same time. Note that while whether a lock is held can be answered by just comparing active_lock.ptr to NULL, to determine whether the register is pointing to the same held lock requires comparing _both_ ptr and id. Finally, as a result of this refactoring, pseudo load instructions are not given a unique reg->id, as they are doing lookup for the same map value (max_entries is never greater than 1). Essentially, we consider that the tuple of (ptr, id) will always be unique for any kind of argument to bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}. Note that this can be extended in the future to also remember offset used for locking, so that we can introduce multiple bpf_spin_lock fields in the same allocation.
