[PATCH bpf-next v2 05/11] bpf: make BTF pointer type checking generic

[Lorenz Bauer <lmb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Perform BTF type checks if the register we're working on contains a BTF
pointer, rather than if the argument is for a BTF pointer. This is easier
to understand, and allows removing the code from the arg_type checking
section of the function.
